MISSION STATEMENT

To transform youth, schools, and communities through holistic practices.

THE PROJECT

Our proposal seeks to address the critical issues of adverse childhood experiences, the mental health crisis, and the need for 21st-century job skills among underserved youth in Monmouth County. This innovative program combines two distinct initiatives: Konscious Leadership, designed to nurture inner growth through mindfulness, yoga, breathwork, healing-informed and restorative justice practices, and Entrepreneur Training for 7th-8th graders. This unique combination empowers youth to embody resilience, heal from trauma, and awaken their greatest potential.
