With summer around the corner -- ServiceSpace may be inviting a few youth (high school or college age) to a summer programs, which is a space to engage in service, deepen in values, and nurture the conditions for inner transformation.
It all started a few summers back, when young minds asked how they could be of service. They circled up with a team of mentors and dove headlong into a curriculum that spanned weekly readings, daily practices, virtual dialogues with peers, and rolled up their sleeves to do experiments in kindness and volunteer on resonant projects-- from graphics to writing, filmmaking, tech, web research, and beyond. Over the years, an array of youth have flowed through, and we've fallen in love with all that unfolds -- from 30-day Kindness Challenge adventures, trackable "smile cards', thoughtful short films, surprising parents with breakfast in bed, and many disarming moments of generosity.
