Our programs help increase social connection and mind-body healing and awareness. We do this through an understanding of stress management, self-care practices and community building.
Our mission
To use the communal spirit of mind-body practices, like movement and the arts, to empower individuals to reach their full potential.
Our vision

To us, this means youth graduate from high school, go on to enroll in college or a skilled trade and have lasting connections with trusted adults. We want everyone to have stable and healthy home lives and be valuable members of their community.
*We define citizen as “any person who is committed to participating in making our communities better” and “one who is willing to be accountable to the well-being of the whole.”
