Sixteen Simple Powerful Pay It Forward Tips

16 Selfless ways to, " Pay it Forward"....

Pay It Forward movements expose students and our communities to positive reinforcement nationally, as a whole.

Hold the door open for the person behind you.
Introduce yourself. Make new colleagues, classmates, etc. feel welcome.
Listen intently to people’s stories without trying to fix everything.
Donate blood. One pint of blood can save up to three lives. Locate your nearest blood drive.
Volunteer at a hospital, homeless shelter, nursing home, etc. Get outside of yourself and help others.
Inspire others online.
Check up on someone who lives alone, elderly, friends.... just be a friend.
Let someone with only a few items cut you in line at the grocery store. It just feels like the right thing to do!
Spread good news.
Give words of encouragement to someone about their dreams, no matter how big or small they are.
Babysit for couples or single parents who don’t get out much so they can have some alone time.
Look for ways to save a few extra bucks a month and then pay it forward.
Help someone get active. There’s a coworker or acquaintance in your life who wants to get healthy, but needs a helping hand. Offer to go walking or running together or join a gym together.
If someone you love really likes something (a meal, a favor, etc.) give it to them when they least expect it.
Make a difference in the life of a child. Give them your time and undivided attention. READ TO YOUR CHILDREN!!!
Pay for the person in line behind you.

Create a care package and send it to an active duty military unit.

Each One, Teach One!

The National Conference on Girl Bullying is returning to Las Vegas!

Now in its seventh year, this unique gathering will help counselors, principals, teachers, social workers and other professionals to understand the latest research and field-tested strategies designed to prevent and address relational aggression among girls.

It will offer a unique opportunity to network with other professionals on eliminating bullying and preventing its disastrous consequences.

Attendees will also receive complimentary access to sessions at the National Conference on School Discipline, which will be co-located at the Las Vegas Hotel & Casino (formerly the Las Vegas Hilton) and runs concurrently.
