Kids for Peace is a Carlsbad-based nonprofit that is uplifting our world through love and action. Founded in 2006 by a local mom and a CHS honors student, we mobilize and empower youth to CREATE peace through hands-on service, global friendships and thoughtful acts of kindness. The arts play a central role in our programing with youth tapping into their creativity - both visual and performance - to create a better world. All schools in the Carlsbad Unified School District proudly participate in our programs which unite our community and strengthen our students’ social and emotional well-being. Project Information and Narrative Project Name:* Please provide us with the name of the arts project. Kindness Unites - Linked By Love Paperchain Project Project Summary:* Please provide us with a brief summary of your project. This past year has been very difficult for many reasons and we are in need of some joy and inspiration. Our Kindness Unites/Linked By Love Paperchain project will deliver that needed boost of happiness...and set a new Guinness World Record! DocuSign Envelope ID: F5F79E5E-AEDB-4C3B-8FEA-6791D349CBB8 Jill McManigal Kids for Peace Printed On: 15 July 2021 Fiscal Year 2021-22: Arts Projects for Arts Organizations 3 Through a series of classroom workshops, a global call for “Love Link” submissions and a culminating community event, together we will set a new Guinness World Record for the longest paperchain by a group. We will create and collect over 2 million links of recycled/reused paper, each with a message of love & hope for the world. Students across the globe have already been making and sending thousands of "Love Links" to our Kids for Peace Headquarters. During the new school year, we will work with all Carlsbad Unified School District schools to host “Love Link” workshops where youth will use their creativity to design beautiful messages of love and hope. On World Kindness Day (November 13, 2021), we will assemble and measure our Kindness Unites Paperchain at Jefferson Elementary School during an uplifting community event. After the 100+ mile paperchain is officially measured for the Guinness World Record, we will distribute sections of this masterpiece to hospitals, senior centers, libraries and more to commemorate this extraordinary time and serve as a beautiful reminder that kindness has the power to unite us all. https://kidsforpeaceglobal.org/linkedbylove/ Project Start Date:* 09/01/2021 Comment: Applicant submitted written consent to approve the change to the start date due to a clerical error. Project End Date:* 11/13/2021 Project Details: Please provide additional details for the project such as additional dates, times and location(s) for all project events for marketing, communications and/or possible future site visits. Making of Love Links: Children began making "Love Links" during the pandemic when we were under mandatory stay-at-home orders. This uplifting project gave children and their families a positive and creative outlet during a time that they felt scared and alone. We will continue creating and collecting "Love Links" until the Guinness World Record (GWR) culminating event on November 13, 2021. GWR Event: Over a four day period on November 10-13, 100+ miles of paperchain will be assembled and measured during a festival-like public event. The paperchain will be assembled in a 3D heart formation, creating a stunning visual masterpiece. Live music will keep spirits high and fun flowing. Amount Requested:* This is the amount your organization is requesting from the City of Carlsbad's Cultural Arts Grants. Please note that the maximum funding amount request is $7,500 for Arts Projects. $5,200.00 Participants:* Total number of expected participants for this project (i.e. artists, coordinators, directors.)

Kids for Peace has organized many very successful events. The project that is most similar to our Kindness Unites Paperchain project is our previous Guinness World Record (GWR) event where we created the world's largest collage of kind-hearted handprints. The event was held at a nearby hospital and we had a crew of volunteers (young and old) attach 104,108 handprints to the corridor walls. Each handprint was created by a child and represented that youth's commitment to kindness. This masterpiece not only set a new Guinness World Record, it uplifted the spirits of the hospital patients and their families. It was quite a feat gathering the kind-hearted handprints from hundreds of schools nationwide, classifying and documenting each handprint (needed as written in the Guinness World Record guidelines), coordinating with the chosen hospital, recruiting and organizing several shifts of volunteers, gluing thousands of beautiful handprints onto the walls in less than 24 hours, and finally, measuring the completed collage following the GWR rules. The entire event was a joy-filled experience where we not only set a new world record, we inspired smiles and happiness for the sick and vulnerable. True success! Project Distinction: What makes this project distinctive? This project is distinctive because it has the ability to engage a large number of people of all abilities, inspire hope and love through the arts and offer healing following a very difficult period in history. Project Goals: What are the goals (outputs and/or outcomes) of the project? How will you measure your goals? 1. We will set a new Guinness World Record for the longest paperchain by a group. We will create and measure 100+ miles of recycled paperchain following all GWR guidelines. 2. We will create a masterpiece that will live on as a reminder that kindness has the power to unite us all. Once the paperchain has been measured and the world record has been set, we will separate segments of the paperchain and donate those segments to at least 10 venues including hospitals, libraries, community centers and more. 3. We will provide an art activity for youth that helps alleviate stress and improves their social and emotional well-being. We will administer a survey to evaluate the impact this project has on local children. 4. We will engage students in the 14 Carlsbad Unified School District schools through a series of Kindness Unites Paperchain workshops. During each session, students will create "Love Links' by painting, writing and drawing their messages of love and hope for our world onto recycled paper cut into strips. We will keep a tally of all participating schools and students. 5. We will host a joyful and uplifting event where the entire Carlsbad community will be invited to attend and be part of this unifying effort.

How will you reach them? Our target population is children, families and community members. As a nonprofit that serves youth, we first will engage our youngest citizens. As a nonprofit that wants to create a culture of peace and kindness, we will additionally engage all Carlsbad community members including businesses, school personnel and government officials. We will reach the children and their families through our close partnership with the Carlsbad Unified School District and through our network of local Kids for Peace chapters. We will reach the broader community through our new "Kindness Certified Company" program launched in partnership with the Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce, on social media, neighborhood online bulletin boards, and via local newspapers and television newscasts.

Organization Changes/Challenges/Circumstances: What special circumstances, challenges or changes have affected your organization? What impact has this had on your organization? Like most nonprofits, COVID-19 hit us hard, mostly financially. With the inability to meet in person, two large fundraisers had to be canceled/postponed which left a large deficit in our budget. A few of our large financial sponsors were also hit hard and subsequently had to drastically cut their contributions. Knowing that children, families and schools needed our uplifting support more than ever, we were steadfast in our determination to be a force of comfort, healing, inspiration and joy. We cut our budget, adapted all programs to accommodate virtual/online gatherings, streamlined our expenses and kept our faces towards the sunshine letting the shadows fall behind. Now, we are preparing to resume with all in-person gatherings and we couldn't be more excited! We have a deep desire to bring our community together and we are confident that our Kindness Unites Paperchain program will serve as a healing balm for our beautiful Carlsbad community.
