The purpose of each class is to expand the mindset of each student encouraging them to grow and thrive as successful students and become a positive Leader in their homes and communities. We believe that in order to reach a student, we have to support them mentally, physically, and emotionally. Each class will start with a 5–10-minute mindfulness moment. During this time, the students will have a chance to silent moment to stretch, think, calm day from their day.

*I prefer to spend more than once a month with students I work with so that we can build a relationship and rapport with them. Also, to actually have an impact in their lives in which we follow them through High School and life after graduation. They become an Alumni of our program and given an opportunity to still participate in events that we host and are welcome to give back to the program such as becoming a volunteer.
Sessions are a minimum of 2 hours including set up and break down, except summer. The students will be seen every week. Summer is 1 ½ hours every week. The prices are for the entire session and the sessions can be tailored for the program needs and wants of the students at each location.
