For AC Kindness Week, Feb. 13 to Feb. 20, we asked Algonquin College learners how they spread kindness in their community. With an overwhelming number of responses, here are just a few of the things learners are doing to spread kindness.

  1. Complimenting one another
  2. Offering help to someone in need
  3. Setting aside time to catch up with a friend
  4. Speaking kindly to one another
  5. Being an active and attentive listener

If you’re interested in getting involved in your AC community and spreading kindness in a long-lasting and meaningful way, consider volunteering through the AC Volunteer Centre. Learn more about the Centre and how to get involved using this link.
