We have a crisis of human connection. This week the US Surgeon General shared a new advisory raising attention to the public health crisis of loneliness and social isolation – and the detrimental health and community outcomes that occur as a result. This report speaks directly to the vital reason for Mindful Littles.
As a teacher, I saw the exponential benefits for my students of explicit teaching of social emotional skills. From second graders implementing mindfulness techniques to using positive, productive language patterns, I watched them grow and thrive in their learning space. My hope is that each student has this experience, which is why I believe so strongly in Mindful Littles and their impact in our communities.

This report speaks directly to the vital reason for our nonprofit, Mindful Littles. Since 2017, we have been diligently planting the seeds to systematize and bring Whole School service learning programs to communities across California, helping our youngest generations strengthen their community connections through mindful service. We have facilitated over 160 mindful service projects benefitting more than 40 community partners, unifying over 8000 students through the common goal of local, community service.
Mindful Littles is at a critical point. As we look to this next phase of our nonprofit, we are ready for expansion and ready to be a major force in weaving compassion throughout the social fabric of our school communities. In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, we've set a goal to raise $50,000 by the end of May. We invite YOU to help restore human connection and foster resilience in our schools. Support our movement and donate today!
