Making Compassion a Habit
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.
On November 8, 2018, the most destructive wildfire in California history passed through the Paradise Ridge area, displacing over 50,000 people and destroying more than 11,000 homes.
Halloween is usually all about the costumes and the candy, but at our Family Service event at Simpson Strong-Tie, employee families delivered a little extra sweetness to local youth patients.
From the beginning of Mindful Littles in 2016, teens and young adults have been an integral part of our Mindful Service Learning programs and community events.
