Class Act

What is Class Act?

Welcome to Class Act, our award program which encourages schools to spread kindness around the world. Kindness comes in many forms, all of which have a positive impact on communities both locally and globally.

The award winner will be the group that is the most inventive in performing an awesome act or acts of kindness. They will receive $8,000 (or their country’s equivalent) for their school and have the opportunity to be featured on social media to serve as an inspiration to others.

The acts or projects can either be something planned and completed specifically for the Class Act award, or it can be something your classroom or school is already doing.

Please watch the video below for more information on the new Class Act Program!

2021 WINNERS!

Winners of Class Act are deemed to demonstrate one or all of the following: advocacy, community, compassion, environment, self-care or creativity. Runners-up also can win cash or other prizes. The program is open to all qualified students across the world.

Rachel Miner, Executive Director for Random Acts, says the involvement of students in community service is the embodiment of the type of kindness that will change the world. “These students are demonstrating a true heart for service and volunteerism,” said Miner. “Their kindness impacts the lives of those they interact with in the community where they live and create a ripple of kindness which spreads to others around them. It’s so beautiful.”
