Looking for Volunteers for The Mindfulness Project!
The Mindfulness project is a collaborative effort to show young adults alternative methods of creating balance in their lives. We are looking for certified yoga instructors and meditation instructors etc. to teach our youth and we are looking for youth mentors that support our youth by interacting with them during programming.

Volunteer Opportunities
Instructor: Our instructors use their personal or professional experiences to teach a designated lesson plan from one of our programs. They educate our youth on how to use these lessons to navigate their issues. Exposing them to individuals with diverse backgrounds profoundly impacts youth typically not exposed to these unique environments. (Must have experience teaching mindfulness)
Mentor: Our volunteer mentors provide a relationship with our youth (in a group setting) to engage with them, build positive, supportive relationships and have fun in a calm and nurturing environment. They help with greeting and signing in participating youth, organize and pass out supplies (yoga mats, snacks, paper, markers, etc.), and assist with the program’s interactive personal and professional development activities with our youth under the direction of the program instructor. Additionally, through participation, volunteer mentors also learn the benefits of incorporating the lessons taught to help relieve personal-related stresses and learn new skills to obtain a work life balance while contributing to a positive atmosphere for our youth participants. (Doesn’t have to have experience with mindfulness)
Yoga Mat Drive
We want to ensure that each child that attends the program, goes home with a yoga mat and a water bottle. Interested in making a donation to help us purchase these items for our youth, click here!
