The ThinkGive Difference
Easy to Teach
Lesson plans are aligned with SEL and academic standards, and integrate seamlessly with existing curricula.
Flexible
The program can be tailored to suit each teacher’s schedule, goals, and classroom needs.
Impactful
Provides an authentic learning experience that successfully moves the needle on prosocial skills.
"Our whole class was affected by ThinkGive. It changed people’s mindsets, which changed our class."
"I learned that being kind to someone in the smallest way can change how they feel the rest of the day."
“ThinkGive made me recognize how I treat others, how they treat me, and how I treat myself.”
“I learned to focus on the good things happening around me, rather than the bad.”
"ThinkGive challenged me to think of others first and what I can do for them. I learned that my actions are powerful."
“I learned that by giving, I can make new friends, achieve trust from others, and become a better person.”
"I learned you can't change others, but you can change yourself and view people from a different perspective."
"ThinkGive taught me to be more aware of people around me and that my presence matters."
“I now know how far a simple act of kindness can carry a person. I will be nicer to people.”
“ThinkGive has and will help me be a more considerate, thoughtful, and compassionate person."
We've Launched Two New Programs!
ThinkGive Primary
This program encourages K-1st graders to explore and practice kindness and inclusion.
Gratitude Spotlight
Students in grades 4-8 explore and take action around appreciating what they have and expressing gratitude.
The Every Child Scholarship
Are you at a school or organization that lacks funding for social and emotional learning (SEL) and would benefit from a full scholarship that will bring ThinkGive to your students, at no cost?

We believe that kindness matters, every day.
Building a caring school community is vital to creating a positive learning environment. With your help, we can integrate ThinkGive into classrooms nationwide and empower more kids to choose kindness.
