statement of need
why we're raising money for the diversity scholarship fund
The Diversity Scholarship supports students who want to learn to share mindfulness practices with people in need such as underserved, underprivileged or otherwise disenfranchised groups. Concepts of resilience and acceptance, compassion and self-care are critically needed in our culture and our lives. Mindfulness has proven to help build resilience, and to empower leaders of social change. Mindfulness tools empower us with compassion to care for ourselves and others, and help open our minds to diverse perspectives and cultures. Thank you for your generosity and support of The Mindfulness Center’s goal to provide diversity scholarships to ten scholars each year.
