So tell me something, do you believe that an act of kindness can impact a person’s life?

Do you believe that multiple acts of (agenda-free) kindness can change a community?

If so, I have a project I am working on,  and I need your help.

Let me start by saying, this isn’t about spending money.  If you have the resources to support causes you believe in financially, by all means, do that.  However, what I am talking about shouldn’t cost you anything but time and maybe a little effort.

Here is the 30 second version of what I want The Kindness Underground to be  about:

I want The Kindness Underground to be a growing community of people who believe that one of the most powerful ways to effect real and lasting positive change in our world is to simply be kind to those around you.

When the opportunity presents itself, do something kind for someone, expecting nothing in return.  If the person happens to ask how they can repay you, ask them to do something kind for someone else when they get a chance.  By doing this, I believe we can spread a “kindness virus” that will grow beyond our imagination.

KindnessUnderground.com will be the hub of this community.  It will be a place for us to share our kindness stories (those where we give and those where we receive),  to inspire each other with ideas for random acts of guerrilla kindness in our world,  and to encourage others to bring the idea to their community.

So, you ask, what do you need help with?  …I am so glad you asked…

I need to know what our site needs to offer to help this idea grow.  What tools, features, etc do we need on the site to empower people to get out there and make an impact in their community?  What are some really cool things you have seen online (or offline for that matter) that you think are a fit here?  Please take some time to think about it, and then leave a comment with your ideas, I want to hear from you.

…and if you would like to be more involved in the creation of this community, drop me an email, you can get my contact information here.

Thanks in advance for your help.
