World Kindness Day is coming up on Wednesday, November 13. Coming at a time when the world may need it most, Generation Wild is encouraging kids and families to get outdoors and make their neighborhoods a little brighter by creating sidewalk murals.
Murals can include messages of kindness and encouragement, or can simply be a picture that will make someone smile like a flower, sun or butterfly.
Spread the love by sharing your creations online using the following hashtags:
- #GenerationWild
- #GenerationWildColorado
- #KidsGrowBetterOutside

- #ChalkItUp
- #BeKind
Generation Wild is a movement from Great Outdoors Colorado (GOCO) that connects Colorado kids to the outdoors. Kids grow better outside and on World Kindness Day, the love can grow, too.
ABOUT GENERATION WILD
Generation Wild was created by GOCO to reconnect kids with nature by increasing the amount of time they spend outside in unstructured play – the kind of play that used to be way more common. The program is an integrated, statewide effort supported by a statewide network of non-profit, public and private partner organizations. In 12 Colorado communities, diverse, locally based Generation Wild coalitions are creating equitable access to the outdoors with new places to play, outdoor programs, and pathways to leadership opportunities and jobs in the outdoors.

ABOUT GREAT OUTDOORS COLORADO
Great Outdoors Colorado (GOCO) invests a portion of Colorado Lottery proceeds to help preserve and enhance the state’s parks, trails, wildlife, rivers, and open spaces. GOCO’s independent board awards competitive grants to local governments and land trusts and makes investments through Colorado Parks and Wildlife. Created when voters approved a Constitutional Amendment in 1992, GOCO has since funded more than 5,600 projects in urban and rural areas in all 64 counties without any tax dollar support.
