What they do
Kindness Ambassadors are volunteers who do a fixed number of kind acts each month and spread the group's projects online, by email, or by text. Most of the work can be done from home, and volunteering is optional. The group also runs seasonal donation drives, a Christmas breakfast project for families in need, and a book scholarship (a bookstore gift card) for college students.
