Extreme Kindness Crew
Bestselling authors, corporate trainers and internationally acclaimed advocates for social change, the Kindness Crew is sparking a global revolution in kindness.
Originally in an effort to counteract grief and fear in the wake of 9/11, Val Litwin, Chris Bratseth, Erik Hanson and Brad Stokes-Bennett - four 28-year old Canadian "goodlums" - embarked upon a three-month non-profit marathon known as The Extreme Kindness Tour. Their adventures in alturism meant spending nights on the street with the homeless, staffing soup kitchens, breaking horses, roofing houses, swabbing decks, delivering flowers, singing songs, visiting hospitals, and staging "kindness protests" as they hugged their way into the hearts of thousands.
From audiences at Fortune 500 Companies to entire metropolitan centers, the Crew has inspired and mobilized thousands to commit acts of community service. With an impressive track record in creating and amplifying Corporate Social Responsibility programs, the Crew has been featured on CNN Headline News, Good Morning America, Canada AM, CBC Newsworld and England’s BBC Radio and profiled in hundreds of leading publications such as The Globe and Mail, Macleans and the National Post.
Today they continue to inspire countries, classes and corporations to raise funds and volunteers for charities and to embrace social responsibility.

"Their messages and involvement in our projects have done a great deal to reinforce our culture of ‘people who care.’ The group has a unique and compelling way of interacting with both individuals and groups to create long-lasting changes in how people can visualize their ability to make positive changes and, more importantly, activate themselves to become personally involved in worthwhile causes in their community."

"I just wanted to thank you all personally and on behalf of the City of New York, for visiting our little city and bringing your energy and spirit to New Yorkers. ...I think that all the kindness injections you were responsible for sent out ripples of goodwill from everyone that you helped. ...Our goal is to get New Yorkers engaged in their communities and give back to their city through volunteerism. The work of the Kindness Crew goes a long way in showing people how little it can take to make someone else’s day better and brighter."
Executive Director, Mayor's Volunteer Center, The City of New York
"The Kindness Crew are brilliant. Their presentation was able to capture the essence of the work we do in Hospice Palliative care. The presentation was full of energy, relevant to the work we do, and inspirational. We all went away with a renewed sense of purpose and commitment. Thank you Kindness Crew!"
