Take the
Kindness Ripple Challenge
The Kindness Ripple Challenge is a simple invitation for students, schools, families and communities to notice, share and practise small acts of kindness.
A ripple can begin in a hallway, a classroom, a kitchen, a garden, a group chat, or one small message.
Quiet kindness counts. Connection starts small. Small acts can travel further than we ever see.

For Schools
Schools can take part in simple, meaningful ways.
A conversation.
A weekly act of kindness.
A moment of noticing someone who may need support.

It is creating a culture where people feel seen, included and supported.

Checking in properly.
Helping without being asked.

Taking a walk together when words feel hard.

Recognition & Prizes
The Kindness Ripple Challenge isn't a competition. Every ripple shared makes a difference.
That said, we'd love to celebrate some of the stories that come in. From time to time, we'll select a ripple to shine a light on — sometimes from a student, sometimes from a family, sometimes from a whole class or school.
Selected ripples may receive:
A voucher for the student or family.
A class treat or wellbeing activity.
A donation to a charity or cause chosen by the student or class.
A kindness toolkit for the school.
A spotlight story shared anonymously or with permission.
How it works
Stories are selected organically rather than on a fixed schedule — we choose ripples that move us, surprise us, or feel like they deserve to travel further. If your ripple is selected, we'll be in touch through the email you used to enter.
All recognition is at the discretion of the Kyne Foundation. Sharing your story does not guarantee selection. Stories may be shared on Kyne Foundation channels with your permission, or kept anonymous if you prefer.
Please note:
Only share your own story or a story you have permission to share.
Do not include private details about another person. If you upload a photo, make sure everyone in the photo has permission to be included.
Stories can be submitted privately and do not need to be shared publicly.
One act. One conversation. One ripple.
The Kindness Ripple Challenge is created by Kyne Foundation as part of our wider work to nurture youth wellbeing, connection and community.
