How it works

A two-year partnership to take your school’s mindfulness work to the next level. WholeSchool looks for experienced Mindfulness Directors who are rooted in their school communities and Partner Schools who are committed to growing and deepening their mindfulness programming.

What you can expect in year one: 

  • Mindfulness Directors:
    • Allocate at least 25% of a full-time staff member’s schedule to the dedicated work of a Mindfulness Director.
    • Participate in our Mindfulness Director learning community. Support and be supported by a community of dedicated Mindfulness Directors nationwide.
  • WholeSchool Provides:
    • Up to $25K in needs-based funding to your school to support the Mindfulness Directors salary and benefits
    •  $1.5K in flexible professional development funds for your learning and growth.
    • Strategic advising and sustainability planning for your school leader

What you can expect in year two:

  • Mindfulness Directors:
    • Allocate the equivalent of at least 50% of a full-time staff member’s schedule to the dedicated work of their Mindfulness Director.
    • Participate in our Mindfulness Director learning community. Support and be supported by a community of dedicated Mindfulness Directors nationwide.
  • WholeSchool Provides:
    • Needs-based funding to support the Mindfulness Directors salary and benefits up to $25,000
    •  $1.5K in flexible professional development funds for your learning and growth.
    • Strategic advising and sustainability planning for Partner School leaders

After year two, Partner Schools may have the option to support the ongoing engagement of their Mindfulness Director with the WholeSchool community, including access to ongoing professional development opportunities.

WholeSchool’s partnership is catalytic in nature. With few exceptions, our financial support is intended to support Mindfulness Director salary and benefits in an effort to cultivate the transition towards a permanent, sustainable Mindfulness Director position within their school/district. While we seek to engage in a formal two-year partnership period, we are looking for schools that possess a desire and intention to sustain the Mindfulness Director position for years to come.
