Description: In February 2009, while attending Pepperdine University, Lauren Paul and Molly Thompson joined forces. Having both been affected by female bullying throughout their youth, the young women decided to create change by giving females a platform to speak out about this universal experience. What began as an idea for a documentary about girl-against-girl bullying, ultimately became Kind Campaign, a multi-platform movement that has transformed hundreds of thousands of lives, friendships, classrooms and communities around the world. Upon graduating with degrees in Film and Television production, Lauren and Molly drove across the country for two months to shoot their documentary and began to implement their assembly program into schools across the nation. Girls across the country were deeply impacted and word spread quickly about their life-changing assembly program. After a year of working on their documentary and spreading their movement, they were ready to bring their finished film into schools and venues across the world.
Their documentary, Finding Kind, was released in theaters in New York and Los Angeles, was accepted and awarded in over 20 film festivals and has screened in thousands of schools across the world. Finding Kind is at the heart of the Kind Campaign Assembly, which now takes place in schools almost every day of the school year and serves as a life-changing educational tool for students, faculty and parents across North America.
Kind campaign is an internationally recognized non-profit organization that brings awareness and healing to the negative and lasting effects of girl-against-girl bullying through their global movement, documentary film, in-school assemblies and educational curriculums.

Renee Cervantez has recently joined the FKCE training team and would like to share the following about herself: Renee Cervantez is a Ventura, CA native and lives in Ventura County with her husband and three children along with 2 dogs, 1 cat and 2 fish! When she isn’t chasing the kids or animals around, she can be found enjoying a cup of coffee and reading or catching up on TV shows! She has a passion for young people and enjoys being of service. Renee has her Master’s Degree in Education and taught for 7 years. She has been a stay at home mom since 2018 in order to better meet the needs of her family. Renee and her husband are a Resource Family Approved Home, first becoming foster parents in 2015.
