TodayKindness Ambassadors

For classes and student groups

Kindness Ambassadors.

A free program for K-12 classrooms, libraries, scouts, youth groups, and homeschool groups. One small act of kindness a week, a kid-friendly story to read aloud, and no student names or photos of children.

What the program is

A class or student group commits to one small, free act of kindness a week. A teacher reads a kid-friendly story from Tazzora, and the group sends in what they did. The act stays small. It does not ask anyone to spend money or to meet someone new.

The weekly idea lives on the Kindness Challenge. Stories a teacher can read aloud live in the classroom section.

Who it is for

K-12 classrooms

A teacher leads one small act a week and reads a story aloud.

Libraries

A school library or a public library can join as one group.

Scouts

A troop can pick an act that stays with people the scouts already know.

Youth groups

A club or youth group sends one note from the adult leader.

Homeschool groups

A family group or co-op can join the same way a class does.

How to join

  1. A teacher or group leader sends one signup for the class. Students do not sign up on their own.
  2. Each week, read one kid-friendly story and do one small, free act of kindness.
  3. Send what the class did. Editors may feature the group on that month's shoutouts page.

The signup is the same tip form as every other note. It is emailed to cheers@tazzora.com. It asks only for a first name or the group name, the school or group, city, state or country, grade range, and an email.

No student names or photos of children

Do not send student names. Do not send photos of children. A shoutout shows the group name, the city and state or country, and the act. That is all. The printable certificate has a blank for the class or group, not for a student.

Classroom shoutouts

Shoutouts are written by hand from notes teachers send. November 2026 is the current month.

No class has been featured yet. The first note that fits can be the first shoutout.

Teacher FAQ

Is Kindness Ambassadors free?

Yes. It costs nothing. There is no kit to buy and no fee to join. A teacher can read Tazzora with a class for free.

How much time does it take?

A few minutes a week. The class does one small act of kindness that is free, and a teacher can read one short story aloud. There is no packet to finish and no long project.

What about privacy?

The signup asks for the first name of the teacher or leader, or the group name, plus the school or group, city, state or country, grade range, and an email. It does not ask for student names or photos of children. Do not send them. A shoutout shows the group name, the city and state or country, and the act. Children's names are not published.

How do shoutouts work?

A teacher sends what the class did, using the same tip form as any other note. Editors read it and may add the group by hand to that month's shoutouts page. The page shows the group, the place, and the act. If a month has no class yet, the page invites the first one and search engines are asked not to index it.

Who can join?

K-12 classrooms, school libraries, public libraries, scout troops, youth groups, and homeschool groups. A grown-up sends the note. Students do not sign up on their own.
