Making Compassion a Habit
Feeling good and doing good is easy with our Mindful Makers programs plugging directly into school Science and Makers Fairs. Recently at Glorietta Elementary’s annual Science & Makers Faire, a unique collaboration with Mindful Littles brought together students, families, and teen leaders to investigate the connection of nature, science and creativity.
Our Nourishment Kit service events for families teaches young children why items like nutritious food or toothbrushes are essential is just as important as the act of giving itself.
Each year the City of Orinda holds their annual Community Action Day to engage local families and community members in cleanup and environmental service projects on Earth Day. This year at the event, Mindful Littles hosted an Earth Day Spring Carnival for families to connect through our feel good, do good nature activities.
When two elementary schools from two different demographics in Butte County joined forces on a field trip to our long-standing partner, North State Food Bank, to assemble meals for local families in need, it was a unique and powerful experience.
In the aftermath of the devastating 2018 Camp Fire, children in Paradise, California, faced trauma, displacement, and overwhelming stress. Mindful Littles responded by turning compassion into action—mobilizing 1,800 Bay Area elementary students to support their peers through mindful service.
When 11 middle school students from Pine Hollow joined Mindful Littles’ Service Peer Leadership Program, they expected to learn about mindfulness and service. What they helped create instead was a ripple effect of emotional wellness that reached hundreds of students, building resilience from within.
Since 2018, the Peace & Kindness Carnival has been a cornerstone of Mindful Littles’ family programming—an annual celebration where play, mindfulness, art, and service come together to nurture children’s emotional wellness and strengthen family bonds.
Since 2018, we’ve empowered students at Carondelet High School through Service Peer Leadership workshops and volunteer opportunities.
Through our direct relationships with schools and community organizations, we have helped Simpson Strong-Tie support youth education programs for our local partners.
We’re excited to share that Mindful Littles received a 2023 Airbnb Community Fund grant award!
