GOOD DEEDS TRAIL

WHEN UNITED IN DOING GOOD, WE REACH WONDERFUL PLACES!
In honor of the 20th Good Deeds Day, we partnered with 20 organizations from all overthe world to create 20 Good Deeds Trail – each one shining a light on the unique social impact happening within its community.
This trail was designed by GDD country leaders to offer you easy, quick, and meaningful ideas for doing good. Feel free to explore, get inspired by their creativity and experience, and join us for Good Deeds Day on April 12, 2026.

CLEAN UP YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD

“Gather volunteers, create an event on social media, and invite people from your community to take part. Bring garbage bags and, together, clean a neighborhood park, a forest, a nearby river, or even a local beach. Small collective actions can create visible, lasting improvements and strengthen care for shared spaces.”

SPREAD A POSITIVE MESSAGE

“Spread kindness the easy way. Create uplifting message templates like “You can change the world” or “Together we do good,” gather volunteers, and spray them on sidewalks with washable colors. Passersby will see these positive reminders and may share them, sparking a chain reaction of kindness and shifting mindsets one message at a time.”
