Kendall's platform is the “Kind Campaign”, an anti-bullying campaign on the national level. Their mission statement is:
“Kind Campaign is an internationally recognized movement, documentary and school program based upon the powerful belief in KINDness, that brings awareness and healing to the negative and lasting effects of girl-against-girl ‘crime.”

Kendall has partnered with the "Kind Campaign" in order to bring this program to the state of New Hampshire. She recently presented a Kind Campaign workshop at the NH National Honor Society Spring Conference at UNH, making contacts with many peer leaders interested in helping her to bring the "Kind Campaign" to their schools. As Miss Greater Derry, she will continue to work with the "Kind Campaign" to achieve her goal of holding four Kindness workshops at four area schools. Kendall will also work with organizations that she has already established connections with, such as Girls Inc., presenting "Kind Campaign" workshops. Kendall's goal is to spread the "Kind Campaign" throughout the state and establish school clubs all over New Hampshire. Linda Daugherty, playwright and author of the play “The Secret Life of Girls” said it best: “If there’s one thing we can all be, we may not all be beautiful, we may not all be smart, we may not all be talented, but we can all be kind.”
