Youth Drama Club has been incredibly meaningful to my daughter. Outside of Drama Club, she’s had to cope with A LOT of complex challenges, both emotionally and socially. In this group, she feels like she belongs, and is safe. Its given her space to be herself and connect with others without pressure or judgement. I’ve seen growth in her confidence, her ability to work with others, her leadership and willingness to take the stage. Its been a real gift to see her light up with exciting for something that is just for her and that she gets to showcase for her loved ones. I have family that drives in from out of town to see the performance! It has been a true gift. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. You have no idea how meaningful this opportunity you have given her has been.

My daughter learns best from others (aka “not mom”). She enjoyed all the mindfulness activities. The most significant learning for her was the reinforcement of deep breathing with the Hoberman sphere and blowing out finger candles when she is experiencing big feelings.  These are things I have been encouraging her to try but now that I can remind her that she told Sophia, the program facilitator, that she will practice blowing out candles, she is much more likely to actually use the skill to find her calm. My daughter has been fairly socially isolated over the last year due to the covid pandemic. It was impactful for her to hear that the other participants in her class experience similar feelings in similar situations.
