Community Wellness to help individuals thrive socially and academically
Bright Mind Enrichment and Schooling
Bright Mind creates wellness education programs including enrichment programming for vulnerable populations and homeless outreach services, so as to provide community wellness to help individuals thrive socially, emotionally, and academically. We are an all-volunteer organization, working with those in need –e.g., our STREET CARE initiative has an app and dozens of videos that help volunteers to help share wellness solutions with homeless people. Although volunteer-based, expertise and professionalism define all we do.
Bright Mind offers a variety of free inspirational and motivating educational and wellness programs, notably for those in need. We offer enrichment classes, one-time programs, camps, and micro-classes (to complement longer programs), for children and adults. Please contact us if you are interested in programming for your community, in the US or beyond.
We are a highly diverse network of renowned wellness professionals. socially-engaged educators, curriculum developers, and allied professionals, located around the US and world. All are deeply passionate about Bright Mind’s work.
Our unique materials are the result of decades of teaching experience and mastery. They are for children and adults, and include scope and sequence documents, assessment materials, and comprehensive operational documents.

Here are some recent programming highlights! We’ll be highlighting other Bright Mind programming here shortly.
Micro School
Our full-time micro-school is open, created in response to the pandemic forcing schools to close. Young children are studying there with a longtime licensed teacher (retired recently from teaching at a nationwide top-20 school district) teaching for BME. It maintains strongest safety protocols to enable in-person learning.
STEM+ Camp
The goal of our STEM+ camp is to plant seeds to give children the most well-rounded learning experience possible. Presenting academics interspersed with wellness, significant educational and social growth can take place. All children are welcome.
In order to encourage vaccination against COVID-19, BME has created a much-needed app and website to publicize incentives (which have been shown to help combat vaccine hesitancy): our Vaccination Rewards platform.
Due to the lack of any publicly visible tool of this nature, the BME team has stepped in and created an app (on Google Play at https://play.google.com/store/
Every day, individual acts and well wishes for homeless individuals fall like drops of rain on countless city streets. Each raindrop is essential on its own, but what if we could pool our efforts, resources, and abilities? Street Care helps volunteers safely share wellness items of clothing and food items and wellness tips with those who live on the streets.
We have helped well over 1000 homeless people, with over 11,000 items donated/shared, and involving over 250 volunteers. Please join us now. Learn more.
