Overview

Little things make a big difference when we all do them together. So why does it seem like acts of kindness are few and far between nowadays? It’s easy to blame it on our goal-oriented society. We rush to accomplish task after task, neglecting the people surrounding us. It’s not that mankind is nasty, but kindness has temporarily slipped our minds. All we need is a little reminder.

Operation NICE encourages individuals to be proactively nice. 

The Operation NICE project will do this with the help of The Pepsi Refresh Project by accomplishing the following:

  • Continuing with the existing and successful blog which promotes kindness through testimonials, nice news, products, etc. 
  • The development of a NICE Toolkit containing notecards, stickers, posters, etc. which participants can use to spread niceness in their communities.
  • The creation of workshops for youth to teach the value of kindness through fun activities. (example)

Together, let's bring NICE back!
