Approaches to creating change in Digital Online Culture
Melissa Britt & Anthony Kelly (AKELLZ)
WHO WE ARE
WHY WE GO TO SCHOOLS
To teach students nationwide that it's "cool to be kind" and to thank and honor teachers.
BE KIND PLEDGE
The Be Kind Pledge is the foundation of everything we do. We treat it as a list of 10 skill sets that help spread intentional good to others.
BE KIND CREW
The Be Kind Crew is a diverse group of over 50 professional educators who also have professional dance experience. The Be Kind Crew is the voice of the organization and allows us to stay relevant and connected to students
