Local businesses + young social entrepreneurs + a simple rock that spreads kindness.
Consignment • Kindness Rocks Business Partnership Badge • Buy local with meaning.
What Makes This Program Unique
Many people paint and leave Kindness Rocks. Many kids sell crafts. This program creates a structured, transparent ecosystem that connects three groups at once:
- Young kids & social entrepreneurs – real business skills + kindness practice
- Local businesses – easy way to support youth, show community care, and offer a meaningful product
- The community – more visible kindness, stronger “buy local” culture, and lasting Ripple Effects
How the Partnership Works
Simple roles. Clear benefits. Shared purpose.
For Kindness Rocks Entrepreneurs
(Kids, Families, Social Entrepreneurs)
Paint and seal quality Kindness Rocks. Approach local businesses with a short pitch. Place rocks on consignment. Restock as needed. Track sales. Gift some rocks for pure kindness.
You gain: Real sales experience, income, confidence, Kindness Ambassador status, and a story for your Kindness Brand.
For Local Businesses
(Any with Foot Traffic)
Display a small selection of rocks + the Kindness Rocks Business Partnership Badge. Keep the agreed share of sales. Customers scan the QR to learn the story. Return unsold rocks after the agreed period.
You gain: Positive community goodwill, a unique conversation-starting product, easy support for local youth, and clear “we support kindness & social entrepreneurs” branding.

Kindness Rocks Business Partnership Badge
