During his first State of the City address after being elected Mayor in 2024, Larry Agran shared a bold vision for Irvine to become the Kindest City in America.

That vision is now taking shape through the launch of the Kindness Network — a community initiative that brings together organizations, leaders, and residents around a shared commitment to mental wellness.

The Kindness Network offers the opportunity to create a community where kindness is more than a value — it is a way of life. Through partnership, compassion, and collective action, the goal is to make Irvine a place where residents feel supported, connected, and empowered to thrive.
