Cool 2Be Kind

The Cool 2Be Kind campaign is an initiative of the Winnipeg Police Association and focuses on teaching youth in grades K-8 the value of being kind. This positive behavior initiative outlines the benefits of being kind to others and making good choices in school and in life. Students and staff are invited to create and submit a unique kindness project for their school with the opportunity to receive funding in the amount of $500 to see their program come to life.

Since 2010 the Cool 2Be Kind campaign has funded hundreds of school Kindness projects thanks to the generous contributions of sponsors. Contact: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
