Empowering Youth to Lead with Compassion

MAKING COMPASSION A HABIT

We strengthen connectedness through compassion experiences for all ages.

Founded in 2016, Mindful Littles is the only education organization of its kind engaging students in service through feel-good mindfulness practices and do-good community service.

We bring our innovative curriculum— Mindful Service Learning — to schools and local communities, activating compassionate leadership in our youngest generations.

From service learning field trips to after-school family service projects, we make service easy, engaging and meaningful for all ages. Our programs have reached over 20,000 students benefiting over 40 nonprofit partners, while strengthening student connectedness to their school and local community.

Our Mindful Service Learning Curriculum

Our educational curriculum for elementary students integrates authentic community problem-solving with academic and social emotional learning— plus, it’s fun!

By helping students feel good while doing good, we teach students how to strengthen their compassion muscle from the inside out.

Partnering with Schools for Long-Term Success

We partner with schools to help them easily integrate our Mindful Service Learning curriculum using our unique methodology.

Our Professional Development Approach

School staff become skilled and empowered to integrate our curriculum while receiving virtual coaching for sustainable and consistent results.

Our Community Partnership Network

Our Community Partnership Network provides schools with an easy way to integrate community solution.

Affordable Programs

School budgets are tight, so we keep our programs affordable for schools through grant funding, donor programs, and corporate sponsorships.

IMPACT STORIES

Strengthening connection, belonging, and resilience.

Halloween Care Bags with Gratitude Cards

Sometimes we feel like “community service” is reserved for the time we spend at food banks, shelters and more. While that work is important, equally valuable are the everyday moments of integrating compassion into our children’s life experiences. An easy way to connect to feeling good and doing good is during Classroom Parties! Activity Prep Instructions for Halloween Care Bags

“Growing into a young adult and figuring out my own place and worth was a transformation full of stress, mistakes, and difficult decisions. Coming to Mindful Littles at the beginning of this process helped me develop and maintain a mental composure, kindness (to myself and others), and care that has made my transformation and journey one that I am genuinely happy with, and proud of.”
