Inspiring and elevating our youth demands that we give them our best, which means ensuring that every program supports holistic well-being.
Key Elements of Well-being

Body, Mind & Spirit

We recognize that in order for children and youth to thrive, our approach must consider the whole person. We acknowledge the interconnectedness of all life domains.

Trauma Responsive

We address the connection of Adverse Childhood Experiences to depression and anxiety, and seek to manage and reduce the impact of toxic stress.

Nurturing Community

We recognize the value of healthy relationships and the presence of caring adults as integral in promoting positive youth development.

Healthy Living

We offer nutrition education, provide access to healthy foods, and offer ample opportunities for movement.
