Together, you’ll share real-world experiences, celebrate successes, and navigate challenges, building a collective wisdom that strengthens each individual’s impact.

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.
