    Mindfulness Leader NFP

    Awarded: Awarded Amount: $2,500

    Mindfulness Leader (ML) centers around education by providing a first-of-its-kind high school elective and after-school program in the City of Chicago dedicated to creating positive changes in the lives of our youth through teaching them the art of Mindfulness. Activities also provide Social and Emotional Learning classes that can be ingrained in their everyday lives. The program currently has over 2,000 children on the waiting list, which is on a first-come-first-serve basis, and the list is growing daily. By the end of 2022 (with the proper funding), we hope to reduce this number significantly. Your generous funding will allow for program expansion so that every child can benefit from Mindfulness Leader.

    Saturday Place

    Awarded: Awarded Amount: $2,500

    If awarded this grant it will be used to create a lending library for our third and fourth-grade students. Our students are enrolled in our program in the third grade being behind 1 or more years academically. They attend classes on Saturdays with us and during this time our reading teachers work with the students who need the most help in a one-to-one setting. The rest of our students attend class in small group settings of no more than 10 students per teacher. The lending library will include high-interest multicultural stories to motivate our students to read at home. It is imperative that our students continue to learn more phonics patterns and sight words and the best way is for them to practice reading independently to be able to read more expressively and fluently.
