Do something nice for someone you don’t know. Even small acts, such as paying the bridge toll for the car behind you when you pay for your own, counts. If it makes the world a friendlier place, you succeeded! You can change people’s attitudes about the world through your unobtrusive acts of kindness. Practicing the “Paying it forward” principle will make you alert to unexpected kindness from strangers towards you, and you may find yourself becoming more grateful for the everyday kindness and consideration from people you don’t even know.
Spread the word. If the person thanks you and wants to “Repay” you (that is, pay it “Back”), let them know that what you’d really like is for them to pay it “Forward”. Instead, ask them to do something nice for someone else. The idea is to consciously increase the goodness of the world.
The “Pay it forward” concept was popularized with the book Pay It Forward by Catherine Ryan Hyde, which was later made into a movie with the same title, starring Helen Hunt, Haley Joel Osment, and Kevin Spacey.

About Communities In Schools of Los Angeles West (CISLAW):
CISLAW, the newest CIS affiliate and independent 501 (c) 3 organization, opened its doors in the fall of 2007. CISLAW currently provides direct services to 600 students at Alexander Hamilton High School, Venice High School, John Liechty Middle School and Hollenbeck Middle School. CISLAW subscribes to the national model that people and relationships make a program successful. Each student in the program is provided a one-on-one relationship with a caring adult who is present every day at the school. The after-school tutoring and enrichment activities provide a safe place for young people to learn and grow. Our fitness classes, sponsored by J K Livin, provide students with a healthy start in life and help to develop habits for a healthy future. The community service activities held throughout the year empower these young people to give back to their peers and community. In each of our middle schools, CISLAW has partnered with City Year and Talent Development out of Johns Hopkins University to provide support and guidance to at-risk students before they get to high school.
