Empowering Kids to Choose Kindness
ThinkGive helps teachers foster caring and inclusive classrooms.
ThinkGive students give—their support, their gratitude, their effort, and so much more. They experience firsthand the impact their positive words and actions have on others and themselves. Students build a strong sense of self, make meaningful connections, and learn to lead with empathy and kindness.
Our experiential learning cycle engages elementary and middle schoolers.
