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.
We aim to foster the following in the individuals we serve:
● Well-Being: a holistic approach to help individuals focus and thrive in their communities
● Tenacity: inspiring individuals to achieve their goals
● Curiosity: through exploratory activities
● Creativity: incorporating the arts, solving problems in new and exciting ways
Wellness is at the heart of our approach, as a way to help individuals to thrive socially, emotionally, and academically.
What Community Wellness means to us:
Here are some recent programming highlights! We’ll be highlighting other Bright Mind programming here shortly.
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.
