Ben’s Bells are colorful ceramic ornaments hung in communities throughout the world as symbols of kindness for people to find and take home. Thousands of volunteers visit our studios and help us make Bells each year. By the time each Bell is hung, many hands have had a part in its journey, and it represents the efforts of an entire community coming together to make one person’s day a little kinder.

But that’s not all we do!

Ben’s Bells educates communities about the benefits of kindness and the skills we need to make kindness part of our daily lives. Kindness can be easy or it can require great skill, and when we practice regularly our small actions make a larger impact than a single random act. Our programs are designed to help us understand the human brain so we can develop our awareness and compassion – both for ourselves and others.
