Help Us Launch a Teen Wellness Summer Pilot Program that is FREE for teens in our community!
The mission of CONNECT is to guide teens out of the pressures of screen-driven culture and back into connection with their bodies, minds, and inner wisdom. In a world where constant digital influence can distort self-worth and overwhelm emotional development, we provide a safe and nurturing space that empowers youth to rediscover who they are from the inside out.
I have been working towards creating a wellness program focused on introducing healthy emotional resilience tools that can be entwined in daily life through mindfulness, creativity, movement, and connection. This summer, I am launching a 2-week Teen Wellness Summer Pilot Program for teens where they can feel safe and supported while having fun.
Today’s teens are facing increasing levels of stress, anxiety, social pressure, and emotional overwhelm. Many young people need healthy spaces where they can enjoy time to slow down, create self awareness, build confidence, and learn positive coping skills before entering a new school year.
Our goal is to provide an uplifting wellness experience that helps teens feel:
supported, empowered, connected, calm and inspired!
The program will include:
- yoga and mindfulness
- Journaling and self-expression
- Gardening, nutrition and planting
- wellness Q & A
- Self defense
- Creative arts
- Ethnic arts - African Dance
- healthy social connection
- emotional resilience tools.
Your support can help provide:
*Yoga mats
*Journals
*Mindfulness materials
*Lunches
*Daily program support
*Wellness Kit
*Gardening materials
*Art supplies
*Healthy snacks
*Teen scholarships for teen participants
Every donation directly supports teen wellness and helps us make this pilot program accessible to families in our community.
This is more than just a summer program.
