About Us
MENTAL WELLNESS
Everyone should have an opportunity to improve their mental wellness every day. That’s why we built kyndfulness – a daily practice that improves mental well-being through volunteering, intentional acts of kyndness, and gratitude.
VOLUNTEER
Volunteering is an effective, meaningful way to build your mental wellness. We make it ridiculously easy to join meaningful and social volunteer experiences specifically designed to improve mental well-being.
THE SCIENCE
You know it feels great to help others and make a positive impact. But, did you know, helping others also has amazing mental wellness benefits. There is also a great deal of science to back it up!
Kyndfulness
Volunteer
Volunteering is the first pillar of kyndfulness and a great way to build your mental wellness. We have over 35 opportunities to get involved with each month. Each of our events is specifically designed to get the most out of your experience. Find a meaningful, social volunteer experience to get started.
KyndHub
KyndHub is an online community that gamifies kyndfulness. Find volunteer experiences, share your kyndfulness, and connect with others who are doing the same. Sign up to join a community of people who are making an incredible impact on the world and practicing kyndfulness together.
KyndKits
It can be difficult to find the time to get out and volunteer. That’s why we developed KyndKits. Now, you can have volunteerism and acts of kyndness delivered! You sign up, we make the kit, you create the impact! Supplement your community impact by having it delivered to your home or office. KyndKits are small, meaningful volunteer experiences and acts of kyndness that you can do anywhere, any time.

The Importance of Kindness During a Pandemic
Life as We Know It. Here we are, several weeks into shelter in place. The news is sobering at best, we’ve all but given up wearing anything other than pajamas or sweats, and toilet paper has become one of the nation’s hottest commodities. Days of the week have become arbitrary and April seems poised to … Continue reading The Importance of Kindness During a Pandemic
The Big Feelings: Loneliness
Have you ever felt lonely in a world full of people? Ever since I was young I have always loved having someone to talk to or have wanted someone around me. I didn’t start feeling an overpowering feeling, that I ignored, until the end of elementary school. This next year meant a new school district … Continue reading The Big Feelings: Loneliness
A Teen’s Experience with Depression
Dealing with depression and anxiety is a rollercoaster. You say I’m not alone but I am petrified. My hands sweat, my heart beats so loudly I can hear it and feel it. Sometimes my stomach hurts and you may think is butterflies that come with the excitement of new situations but it feels like a … Continue reading A Teen’s Experience with Depression
School Shootings and Mental Health: From the perspective of a high-school student
I have lived in Highlands Ranch ever since I was four years old with immigrated parents from Vietnam. I learned how to work hard and play hard. Living to balance the two worlds of American culture and traditional Viet culture was and still is a task to handle. As I grow older, my parents allow … Continue reading School Shootings and Mental Health: From the perspective of a high-school student

It has been so long since I volunteered and Project Helping made it so easy to volunteer. The experience was so seamless and easy – great job!
I have been exploring your website since I got home. The video of Jaclyn’s story and the blog posts … So many feels (and tears)! Long story short – I’ve been struggling with depression myself, and a depression skills class on behavior activation brought me to volunteering.
Your mission statement feels true to my core, and I feel so aligned with what you’re doing.

It is very difficult to find events with solid communication and a variety of events that have a variety of activities to do, but Project Helping clearly has both those aspects and more covered and with seeming ease. The event leaders were amazing and the event was coordinated beautifully. Project Helping an awesome organization and they truly helped/made me feel like I actually made a difference so thank you and keep doing what you’re doing!

I personally used to struggle with anxiety and depression so your mission is very relevant to my life. I felt that even this small event helped me find purpose to my city and gave a peace of mind, which is rare…I left the event with optimism and happiness 🙂

Something easy that anyone can just jump in and start helping! I felt as if as I was helping to fill their bellies with food, my heart was filled with gratitude. <3

I benefitted from the event most by just feeling better about myself. I love helping people and this event gave me a chance to do that. It also gave me a chance to be with other people and have a good time not worrying about all the little things I worry about.

It was a wonderful experience. I didn’t know anyone else in the group and everyone was wonderful. I loved volunteering in the morning because it set the tone for the rest of my day.
Annie

I often sign up for Project Helping events, but then my social anxiety kicks in and I try to talk myself out of going. But then I remind myself how amazing I am going to feel when we are done. Even on my lowest day, I always feel more optimistic and confident after a Project Helping event.
