Welcome to the Kindness Clubhouse!
Part of the Schools that Radiate Outrageous Compassion & Kindness (Schools that R.O.C.K.) program is a course for students (high school & college) to know the basics of planning a service project, event, or program.
You may have a student that says, “I want to make a difference” or “I want to make a positive impact” but beyond that she doesn’t know where to start. Or a student who sees a problem in the community and knows he has to do something to make a change.
These are the steps that I walk students through so they know what they NEED to do to make their project, event, or program successful.
Step One – Know what it is you want to do.
- Think through the vision you have for your project
- Get more specific about your vision and think about the end result you want to have
- Name your project so you can start talking about it
- Write your mission statement & elevator speech
Step Two – Build a relationship with the community
- Find and existing organization, school, or agency to partner with
- Reach out to Community Partners and make a good first impression
- Develop a true partnership where both partners benefit from the relationship
Step Three – Develop a team of committed volunteers
- Start with volunteers close to you – family, friends, classmates, members of student organizations
- Expand your team and make it stronger by recruiting people with special skills and talents that fit with your vision
- Keep your volunteers coming back by defining expectations, communication, and showing appreciation in meaningful ways
- Leave your Legacy by having your project continue even after graduation by developing leaders and a program manual
Step Four – Create a Buzz to get support
- Decide on the best ways to publicize your opportunities to get volunteers and participants
- Look at four ways you can find financial support and resources and use your teams skills and talents
- Find a program to help you create fliers and social media posts with ease
- Check out programs like Youth Service America or DoSomething.org that are committed to help youth make a difference

You Want: Clarity, Support, and a Step-by-Step Action Plan
If you know you could benefit from the daily support from other student leaders just like you, specific how-to strategies, as well as the what to do direction from someone who’s been there before you…and who can save you a lot of time and effort so you reach your dreams 10 times faster.
Then YES this is the course is for you!
Like attracts like – when you surround yourself with big dreamers, it totally rubs off on you. That energy and focus can be unreal!!
Support is everything.
Being an “Agent of Change” can be lonely. You had a passion and will do anything to make it happen but you risk putting academics and a social life to the side. Your friends don’t seem to understand that language you are speaking.
This program includes a community of other students so you get that support and build relationships!
You also have easy to implement action steps so you can set aside time to still have a social life and study for your classes.
Imagine that you get to learn from the leader who has done it before and received recognition from the President of the United States AND served with the Corporation for National and Community Service. You get all of their secrets that to create a service program that changes lives. You also get to learn from all of the other members of the group. Best resources to develop community partners? How to recruit volunteers? Strategies to raise money and get sponsors for a successful project?
Someone in the group has probably done it and you can work together to help each other out.
Sick of trying to do this whole thing all by yourself?
You need this program.
Why take this Course?
- In high school, I told my counselor that I wanted to make a difference. I received the Ray A Kroc Youth Achievement award for my community service efforts (and free McDonald’s for a year).
- Then I received a full-tuition scholarship for being an Outstanding Student in Community Service.
- In college, I started the first Colleges Against Cancer organization which spread to universities all over the United States and gave me the opportunity to plan youth conferences (regional and national) with the American Cancer Society.
- My volunteer efforts earned state and national recognition – the youngest recipient of the 13WMAZ Straight for the Heart Award, Daily Points of Light Honoree, and Presidential Volunteer Service Award Lifetime Achievement.
Training student leaders to make a difference is my passion!
