Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

We have established outreach programs for in-class presentations, after-school and community outreach programs that embody and foster the greater good for all. The programs allow for natural interaction that fosters these developments and brings about positive fufiling relationships. Normal school subjects, teach you how to add and read - yet they do not teach you how to be a compassionate, understanding and inclusive human. Our programs instill this temperament and community spirit.

Our Mind + Heart programs equips learners with the tools to think with empathy, compassion while critically identifying creative and impactful solutions to interconnected all living beings. Social Emotional Learning paired with Humane education encourages many character values, including compassion, respect, empathy, and inclusion. Learners develop sensitivity to other living beings and the abiotic world within which we all survive, and they learn to appreciate the diversity of others and the world in which we live and share.

Our programs provides opportunities for individuals to develop a sense of community, social skills, stewardship, and self-esteem through its solutions-oriented approach, empowering learners to make choices that align with their values and take action as confident, capable community members.

Our Mind + Heart programs are available for ease of use in classroom or community center settings.

We just started our programing when the pandemic started. Unfortunately, this has caused us delay in implementing and producing our programs.
