Jill McManigal is the proud mother of two beautiful children and the co-founder & executive director of the global nonprofit, Kids for Peace. What started in her Carlsbad backyard in 2006 has grown into a kindness movement with over 19 million youth in 115 countries participating. Through Kids for Peace, Jill and her team are building a worldwide community of kind, compassionate and empowered young people.

We recently had a chance to catch up with Jill. She shares the story of how an idea that started in her backyard sparked a global movement.

During the interview, we are talking about:

• The Great Kindness Challenge (for schools, families & businesses)
• The Peace Pledge – what is it?
•  The Peace Pledge Program – and how to start a chapter

We’re also talking about three important points about making peace a part of your world.

1. Words matter! Create a positive home by placing affirmation notes around the house
2. Actions matter! Download our free Great Kindness Challenge – Family Edition checklist and tackle one act of kindness together per week.
3. Kindness Heals! The pandemic made for some very tough times for our kids. Research shows that engaging in acts of kindness helps with depression and feelings of isolation. Commitment to intentionally practicing kindness together.
