Three for Thursday: Websites that "Do Good"

I think that everyone can agree that these days, we could all use a little more good in the world.  That's why for today's Three for Thursday post I wanted to share with you my three favorite websites that are doing good for our planet.

1. The World Needs More Love Letters

The World Needs More Love Letters is one of our favorite websites and you will definitely hear more about it later (as Amy and I are both very involved in the movement).  MLL is movement dedicated to spreading love through pens and paper.  MLL encourages people to write love letters to strangers to leave in random places around the community.  They also organize love letter drives and create love letter "bundles" to send to people all over the world who need love and encouragement.

MLL mission statement: "The World Needs More Love Letters is an organization lifting, empowering, and mobilizing individuals through tangible acts of love."

2. Kind Campaign

The Kind Campaign is a movement designed to get girls to stand up against "girl-on-girl 'crime.'"  They teach girls that

The Kind Campaign mission statement: "Kind Campaign is an internationally recognized movement, documentary and school program based upon the powerful belief in KINDness that brings awareness and healing to the negative and lasting effects of girl-against-girl 'crime.'”

Here is a preview of the Kind Campaign documentary which will show you what they really stand for:



3. Smart Girls at the Party

Smart Girls at the Party was founded by the fabulous Amy Poehler and a few of her friends.  SGATP is all about changing the world by being yourself.  The girls who run the site post adorable videos showing that girls are awesome just the way they are, as well as encouraging girls to do good in their community.

Their motto is: "CHANGE THE WORLD BY BEING YOURSELF!"

Here is an adorable video from Smart Girls at the Party's YouTube channel.  I couldn't resist sharing it with all of you!


While the Kind Campaign and SGATP are geared towards younger girls, I feel that the messages are powerful enough that even as adults we can gain insight from them to share with the next generation of women.  I hope that you have enjoy this week's Three for Thursday and that you will find these websites fun and interesting.  I'd love to hear what your favorite websites are that do good for our society!
