Social Grace

Everyday Skills for Living Well with Others.

How we treat people matters.

🤝 Respect people.
🧭 Read the room.
🌱 Leave things better.

The Problem:

MICRO-BULLYING

The little things that make people feel small.

Micro-bullying isn't always obvious. It can be a joke that goes too far, an unwanted touch, an embarrassing comment, constant interruption, exclusion, invading someone's space, or simply refusing to notice when someone is uncomfortable.

Individually, these moments can seem minor. Repeated often enough, they can make people feel unwelcome, unsafe, or like they don't belong.

Social Grace exists to teach our kids to notice these moments—and know what to do before they become something bigger.

WHAT IS SOCIAL GRACE?

Kindness you practice.

Social Grace teaches the everyday skills people need to live well with others. It turns the idea of kindness into something we can actually practice: respecting boundaries, reading the room, communicating well, and taking responsibility for how we affect the people around us.

Sunnyside Our Brand What We Believe Hands Shaped Like a Heart

You don't have to think alike, act alike, or become the same to belong together. But living alongside others means learning how to share space, handle differences, recognize discomfort, and know when to stop.

We believe good communities don't happen by accident. They are built by people who know how to treat each other well.

The Grace Check™

Social Grace is practiced in real life. So we look beyond attendance.

  • How you affect the people around you.
    Peer or structured feedback from fellow members after shared experiences.

  • What trained adults observe.
    Behavior, growth, participation, boundaries, and how the member responds to feedback.

  • What growth looks like beyond Sunnyside.
    Parent observations on progress, habits, and areas that may need support.

  • What happens in real situations.
    Feedback and observations from meetups, programs, trips, events, and shared spaces.

  • What you see in yourself.
    Reflection, self-awareness, and the ability to recognize strengths, mistakes, and areas for growth.

WHY IT MATTERS

Big Things Are Made of Small Things

The way we treat people can make the world around us a little kinder. Social Grace helps us notice those small moments and choose better.

Because big changes start with small choices, and a kinder world starts with kindness.
