Imagine you’re a child trying to learn in a classroom. You’re not just thinking about the math problem on the board—you’re also worrying about the fight your parents had this morning or the friendship drama from yesterday. You don’t have the words to explain how you feel, let alone tools to handle it.

This is the reality for many students in our community. Studies show that 1 in 5 children in the U.S. experience mental health challenges, and many of them are struggling in silence. Depression, anxiety, and stress don’t just affect their emotional well-being—they impact their ability to focus, connect, and succeed in school and life.

That’s why our organization has spent the past two years bringing mindfulness and social-emotional learning (SEL) practices to our afterschool and summer programs.

What We’ve Seen:
Over the past two years, we’ve watched students transform. We’ve seen amazing changes in our students: kids who used to feel overwhelmed or easily distracted are now more confident and excited to participate. These practices help them stay calm, handle stress, and tackle challenges—both at school and in their everyday lives.

We know the power of these tools, and now we’re excited to bring them directly into classrooms during the school day to support even more students where they learn.

Your Impact: The Mindful Me Kits Campaign

This year's campaign seeks to raise $5,000 to provide mindfulness "Mindful Me" kits to students participating in our mindfulness programs during the upcoming year. These kits will allow students to enhance their mindfulness education at home.

Each student participating in the mindfulness program will receive:

Mindful Me Kits for every student, which include:
- The Elements of Mindfulness book.
- Stickers, bookmarks, and coloring pages and crayons to practice mindfulness in fun, creative ways.
About The Elements of Mindfulness

The Elements of Mindfulness equips children with practical tools to manage stress and develop mindfulness practices that can benefit them throughout their lives. Recommended for ages 3 to 12, the book provides lessons and exercises tailored to different age groups, making it a versatile resource for young learners and educators alike.

The 48-page book features full-color illustrations and a flexible layout, allowing it to be easily adapted for various uses. Younger children can engage with the vibrant illustrations, older children can connect with the stories, and adults can guide them through targeted lessons and exercises. The book also includes thoughtful questions and a word guide, making it an excellent resource for fostering meaningful conversations about mindfulness.

By including The Elements of Mindfulness in each Mindful Me Kit, we ensure that students have a comprehensive, engaging tool to support their emotional growth—both in the classroom and at home.
