Juniors Prabhjot Kour and Quincy Souquet are the first leaders of the Random Acts of Kindness Club in six years, since its disbandment in 2020. They first heard about the club in late 2025, and made the decision to restart and become the new leaders of the group in early March.
“I was talking to Quincy about it, and we were both like, ‘That would be so cool to bring back,’ especially since people seemed to enjoy it back when it was there in 2020,” Kour said.
In addition to restarting the club, Kour and Souquet are expanding the original group’s activities to include more deliberate demonstrations of kindness.
“Originally, when the club was running in 2020, it was just at assembly [where] they would randomly pick a name out of a hat and give someone candy,” Souquet said. “But we wanted to bring some more intentional acts of kindness into the club too.”
The first club-hosted activity was creating a bingo sheet for students to complete during Social Justice Week from March 2-6.
“We thought that would be a cool intro to our club and something we could do,” Souquet said.
Inspired by Service Club’s Kindness Bingo that was made for students last spring, Kour and Souquet decided to put a spin on their own bingo game to promote the goals of Social Justice Week. Some items in the game included ‘clean up a mess that wasn’t yours’, ‘follow or research a non-profit’, and ‘say thank you to the Commons staff’.
“We thought we would do one that was like kindness and social justice combined,” Souquet said. “We wanted this to encourage people to be active participants in social justice week and be a little more cognizant of the people around them.”
The club had its first meeting on Thursday, March 19. The club leaders used their first meeting to plan out future projects that promote positivity, connection and kindness throughout the school.
“We definitely want to start off by writing thank you notes to teachers and any faculty or staff [who] get underappreciated because that would make anyone feel good,” Kour said.
Kour and Souquet also want to help fellow students and accomplish broader acts of kindness.
“We also want to do bigger activities, like donation drives that could also earn students volunteer hours, and just other small things that would still have an impact on the school community,” Kour said.
The club also has the potential to bring the UPrep community together through the joy of simple positive acts and connection through kindness.
“I think it would also help people connect with people they probably wouldn’t normally talk to, just because it’s open to everyone, regardless of what your interests are,” Kour said.
Ultimately, Kour and Souquet hope the Random Acts of Kindness Club becomes a longstanding staple of the UPrep community, creating a more compassionate and engaged school environment.
“We would want it to be something that people are excited to be a part of and something that would continue because you can never have too much kindness,” Kour said.
