# CELEBRATING 15 YEARS OF GOODNESS - APRIL 2025
GOODness Grows 2025
What is GOODness Grows?
We believe goodness grows, and that one good deed leads to another. Our goal is to leave “no GOOD left undone,” because kindness matters. GOODness Grows is a week-long event each April. Each day, the community is challenged with GOODness missions to carry out. Please join us in acts of goodness to spread kindness and joy across Summit County and beyond.
Who Participates?
The event originated from Summit County Youth (SCY). A program that creates a safe place for students to #beKNOWN, #beLOVED, and #BElong. Students from elementary through high school will be taking part in GOODness missions, and we want to include all of Summit County to do the same. Everyone can help GOODness grow.
Our Challenge to You!
Take part in 10 acts of GOODness this week, and see how kindness and goodness spread in your heart and the hearts of those around you. Watch and see how goodness grows...

SCY is a non-profit organization that relies on a community of volunteers. There’s nothing quite as exciting as walking alongside of another human being as they’re trying to figure out the world around them.
