Random Acts of Inclusion and Community
Since the holiday season is a natural time for being thankful and appreciating one another, what better way to celebrate our community than by participating in Random Acts of Inclusion and Community? We invite all of you to spread this contagious, positive energy by taking actions to be inclusive to others in our community this holiday season.Then share your Random Acts of Inclusion and Community on social media and using our hashtags and tagging the IDEA Forum. Ensuring that everyone feels included in some way can make a huge positive change, in your neighborhood, school and community. We would love to see an overwhelming response to this initiative (through the new year) and hope that others will follow suit.
