INDIANAPOLIS, IN​ – ​Peace Learning Center​ (PLC), with support from the ​Indiana Family
& Social Services Administration, Division of Mental Health and Addiction​, will host Project
Kindness on Wednesday, May 16th from 10 am to 1 pm in downtown Indianapolis at the
Athenaeum/The Rathskeller. PLC will share techniques on how to spread kindness through
everyday acts. The goal of this event is to give groups of youth tools for being upstanders in a
world where so many of us are bystanders. The event, which includes lunch, is free for
Indiana youth grades 6th-8th and their adult chaperones. Groups transporting youth to the
event may request a transportation scholarship.

"This event is designed to align with Peace Learning Center’s unique approach to bullying
prevention which empowers youth to find their passion and to use their voices and talents to
impact their community for the greater good,"​ said Jay Horan, Director of Engagement at
PLC.

During the event, youth will be enlightened with creative and inspiring ways to perform acts
of kindness that they can do themselves and for other members of their community. Youth
will then be challenged to put their kindness lessons into action. Studies show that youth who
are empowered in one aspect of their lives will also be empowered in other facets.
Throughout the day, PLC will focus on empowering youth to be upstanders who are willing
to stand-up for themselves and their own passions, as well as demonstrate they do not tolerate
peer mistreatment of any kind.
