Our Be Kind Utah movement is an initiative designed to increase and build awareness of acts of kindness throughout the state of Utah. The goal is to record 1 million acts of kindness in 40 days during Utah Family Month!
Our Hope is the Be Kind Utah campaign will:
  • Increase Compassion in Utah communities
  • Support Utah’s effort to become a trauma-informed state by bolstering emotional resilience
  • Strengthen community bonds by developing empathy, respect, and humanity among community members
  • Provide community members with support by providing information about community resources
