Get ready to spread joy—one rock at a time!
 
Christian, Jersey, Macoupin, and Montgomery (CJMM) County 4‑H programs are teaming up for Kindness Rocks!, a hands‑on community service project where youth get to paint, create, and brighten someone’s day. Kids and teens will design colorful, uplifting rocks that will be placed throughout our communities to inspire smiles, kindness, and connection.

Youth ages 5–18 can join us for one of four rock‑painting sessions happening across the unit. Each session is packed with creativity, positivity, and plenty of chances to make something meaningful. 4-H membership is not required to participate in this program.
