With these funds, I will bring be well. teach well. to a group of high risk boys in 6th & 7th grade at YES Prep Gulfton.

We will have be well. teach well. conduct 4 workshops during lunch and advisory throughout two weeks.

The boys will learn and develop skills in emotional & physical management as well as coping techniques such as breathing exercises, yoga poses, and mindfulness.

Our students work hard each day to survive in the situation they were handed. They are resilient, hard-working, and bundles of joy. The school setting can be difficult for particular groups of students and learning these skills at a young age is critical both to their development and success in life. Our society has many ways to "intervene" or even penalize their natural responses.
Work with us to be a part of the solution and give them a chance at learning how to respond apropriately and regulate themselves in a different way.

To define the impact:

8-10 boys will be directly impacted by these workshops. Indirectly, 10,000 students, pets, siblings, parents, grandparents, cousins, teachers, administrators, future teachers and administrators, employers, college professors, spouses, and anyone who comes in contact with these students on a daily basis will be impacted. This is the power of The Ripple Effect: four workshops can change the world -- or at least, these boys' world. You in?
