St. Luke’s Health is on the search for a “Chief Humankindness Officer,” an honorary title created for a local child between the ages of 5-12 to help demonstrate what humankindness looks like in action, and spread verbal encouragement and kindness throughout the Houston community.

If your child has the ability to lift up other people’s spirits through motivational and encouraging words, and can showcase the power of kindness and human connection, the organization wants to see them in person!

The search is a one-time-only open casting call for children in the greater Houston area of Texas – no previous performance experience is required. 

Participants will be asked to deliver 30 seconds of their best original words of motivational encouragement and positivity, and share what humankindness means to them, as well as how they show it through interactions with others. After the casting call search, one child will be offered the opportunity to serve as Chief Humankindness Officer, and may be selected for an upcoming St. Luke’s marketing effort. The winner will also have a chance to connect with a casting director from Upward Artistry, a local talent agency in Houston, to hone their performance skills during a one-on-one session.

WHY: The search, and new Chief Humankindness Officer role, brings to life St. Luke’s Health’s Hello humankindness movement, which supports the philosophy that while medicine has the ability to cure, shared humanity and human connection has the power to heal – body, mind and spirit. This philosophy is a continuation of St. Luke’s Health’s long standing practice to care for each patient with kindness, empathy and respect, in addition to providing world-class medical and academic excellence to the community.
