Volunteer Coordinator

The mission of Bens Bells is to inspire, educate, and motivate people to realize the impact of intentional kindness, and to empower individuals to act according to that awareness, thereby strengthening our relationships, our communities, and ourselves.

Recent research demonstrates that kindness benefits our physical and mental health, and that recognizing kindness in others increases a persons happiness and satisfaction. But just as solving a calculus problem requires advanced math skills, the challenges of daily life require advanced kindness skills. By focusing on kindness and being intentional in our interactions, we can improve our ability to connect. The mission of Bens Bells is to inspire individuals and communities to engage in kindness education and practice. For more information on the organization, visit www.bensbells.org.
