These kids have been through so much, and learning different techniques to help them understand what they’re feeling and how to express those feelings in an appropriate way has been so beneficial.”

Mindful Service Learning Projects

I learned that in life you have ups and you have downs. I learned something…that is not easy to learn. I learned how much one person can change a whole community.”

      —5th Grade Participant

              

“Every time I interact with Mindful Littles, I am reminded…of how easy, relaxing, and fun mindfulness and acts of service can be. These are lessons that I know will continue to impact my life for good, which I hope to continue incorporating into all aspects of my life, and helping the next generation learn.”
— Teen Leader
"It was very special that we could connect as a family by doing something beneficial and kind for others. At the end [of the event] our kids were relaxed and happy, and as a family we felt heart-warmed and grateful. That is the power of practicing kindness for others.”
— Bay Area parent participant, Mindful Service Learning
"The event had quite an impact on my 7-year-old son, who, after assembling hygiene kits at your Mindful Littles event, decided to raise money for the kids in Haiti on his own. I think what you are doing through the Mindful Littles program is wonderful, and it's obviously having an impact on children near and far! I look forward to attending another one soon!"
— Bay Area parent participant, Mindful Service Learning event

Because of it’s immense impact on children and community, our Healing Initiative in Paradise was renewed for 2021 by the Butte County Office of Education with a SAMHSA federal mental health grant, and we brought our program to a Fresno County community impacted by wildfires, Pine Ridge Elementary.
