Walks of Kindness
Spark Emotional Health In Your Community!
In our modern world, in-person connection isn’t always easy. But when you take TKC’s Walk of Kindness (a “WK” for short), you experience something unique. A purposeful walk that boosts your health, and gives back at the same time.
TKC’s Walks of Kindness Program started with a simple idea: to grow community connection. Whether you’re here to make friends, deepen bonds, or rally for a cause, our WK’s make it easy with conversation prompts and a check-in/check-out. WK’s are a give and a get: you give presence, reflection, and a listening ear to your walk mates. You get all of that in return, plus health benefits, plus a tie to a larger movement. We’re making meaningful change through in-person connection and emotionally healthy communities, one walk at a time.

➤ What’s something you’ve been appreciating lately?
➤ What changes for you when you are practicing gratitude- mood, mindset, energy?
