Mindfulness for Marginalized Students

Help me give my students self-care items and resources for social emotional learning. The notebooks and journals will help students express their ideas in order to help them communicate. We also need floor seats.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

The mindfulness club for black high school students aims to create a safe and supportive space where students can explore and cultivate mindfulness practices tailored to their unique experiences and needs. In a world often fraught with systemic challenges and societal pressures, the club seeks to provide tools and resources that empower students to navigate stress, build resilience, and foster a sense of well-being. Through guided meditation sessions, group discussions, and workshops on topics such as self-care, emotional regulation, and cultural identity, the club will foster a sense of community and belonging while equipping students with valuable skills to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.

By establishing this mindfulness club, we aspire to not only enhance the mental health and well-being of black high school students but also to promote a culture of self-awareness, compassion, and empowerment within our school community.

Through regular meetings and activities, participants will have the opportunity to develop mindfulness practices that resonate with their lived experiences, fostering a deeper connection to themselves and each other. Ultimately, we believe that by investing in the holistic development of black students through mindfulness, we can cultivate a generation of resilient, empowered individuals who are better equipped to navigate the complexities of life and contribute positively to their communities.
