Watch our latest video about our work lifting up young people. We've put so much love and energy into this project, and there are some truly brilliant teen voices in it. Link in bio.
💫 And if you haven't had a chance to donate to our Tuition Assistance Fund yet, it's not too late! No amount is too small. Together we will make sure that all our youth know their power.
🤩We've raised $10,000 for our end of year campaign. Help us get to $40,000!

It’s 💛 Thank you for your donations to our end of year fundraiser 💛 Each dollar you give supports more young people to awaken to their inherent wisdom, power and purpose.
This year…
⚡️We worked with 70 families serving parents and youth 6th grade through college age. We have never felt more needed, wow.
⚡️We offered $40,000 in scholarships! This is the highest amount of scholarships we've been capable of offering. This also meant we served more BIPOC families, which continues to be a priority goal.
Sharing our mission and campaign is another great way to contribute ~ please do so widely!
