In honor of Channel Kindness’ 10-year-anniversary, here are 10 ways you can take action and help your community today! 

1) Send Letters to Trans Youth via Point of Pride, an organization that helps trans youth feel supported through access to life-saving health services.

2) Volunteer as a Peer Mentor with The NAN Project, which strives to reduce mental health stigma and prevent youth suicide by providing proactive peer-to-peer education through hopeful stories of lived experience to young people and their communities.

3) Become A Tutor with Minorities in STEM, a nonprofit building a future where every voice in STEM is heard, valued, and empowered.

9) Learn CPR + Learn How to Close The Gender Gap

 A large-scale Duke University Medical Center study covering 47 U.S. states and over 309,000 cases proved women are 14% less likely to get bystander CPR, while international studies cited by the Resuscitation Council UK show public disparities as high as 27%. That’s why Sharika Dhar wrote Closing the CPR Gender Gap: The Equity Playbook.
