Life Vest Inside

Life Vest Inside is a non-profit dedicated to empowering the masses to engage in acts of love and kindness.

The Greater Good Science Center

Greater Good provides educators with a wealth of resources centered around the themes of gratitude, altruism, compassion, empathy, forgiveness, happiness and mindfulness. Greater Good aims to develop students' social emotional intelligence in hopes of increasing their overall academic achievement. Greater Good offers a six day summer institute to equip educators with the social-emoonal learning tools that will benefit both students and teachers.

The Random Acts of Kindness Foundation

The Random Acts of Kindness Foundation is the heart of the kindness movement whose aim is to help everyone create a better world by spreading awareness and increasing engagement in kind actions.

Randomactsofkindness.org is a platform where media, education, community, social networking and entertainment connect people with inspiration, tools, resources, organizations and a larger support network to help them take action, get involved, harvest and share the benefits of kind actions in their daily lives and society. Randomactsofkindness.org is dedicated to providing users with dynamic means to teach, learn, collaborate, grow and communicate the kindness they care about in their unique ways.

All who join Randomactsofkindness.org can participate in and contribute to a thriving movement where members engaged in thinking, doing and sharing kindness are changing the world.

DoSomething.org

DoSomething.org is the country's largest not-for-profit for young people and social change. We have 2,250,224 members (and counting!) who kick ass on causes they care about. Bullying. Animal cruelty. Homelessness. Cancer. The list goes on. DoSomething.org spearheads national campaigns so 13- to 25-year-olds can make an impact - without ever needing money, an adult, or a car. Over 2.4 million people took action through DoSomething.org in 2012. Why? Because apathy sucks.

Common Sense Media

Common Sense Media is dedicated to improving the lives of kids and families by providing the trustworthy information, education, and independent voice they need to thrive in a world of media and technology.

We exist because our nation's children spend more time with media and digital activities than they do with their families or in school, which profoundly impacts their social, emotional, and physical development . As a non-partisan, not-for-profit organization, we provide trustworthy information and tools, as well as an independent forum, so that families can have a choice and a voice about the media they consume.

A Mighty Girl

A mighty girl is the world's largest collection of books, toys, movies, and music for parents, teachers, and others dedicated to raising smart, confident, and courageous girls and, of course, for girls themselves!

The Mother Company

The mother company is all about the social and emotional issues and everyday challenges we face as parents of young children today. As a parenting tool, we not only make helpful products for children, but also offer insightful articles on our site to help take some of the stress out of everyday parenting.

SimplyCircle

SimplyCircle makes it simple to communicate and organize, whether you're managing a family of 4 or a group of 100. The company was originally known as SchoolCircle and was focused on connecting parents and teachers. But so many parents loved using SchoolCircle outside of just the classroom that we renamed the company to SimplyCircle.

Now parents can use SimplyCircle to create communication circles for all kinds of groups, including PTAs, scout troops, sports teams, and groups of family and friends. SimplyCircle recently acquired several other leading group communication services. We welcome customers of these services to our family.
