Review for The Mosaic Project, Oakland, CA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

The Mosaic Project is by far the most effective community working towards social justice that I have ever seen. Children are the ones who will grow up and affect how the world works. I often think about how Mosaic will affect the world, or even the bay area, twn years from now. When I imagine any situation that I am in, and how it plays out now, I compare it with how it would happen if even half of the people involved went to Mosaic when they were ten. It would change things immensely. Important tools are shown and made available in a way that is creative, not preachy. Reaching children at this age, when small seeds of peace can be planted in their lifeskills garden, is infinitely important. Mosaic does it beautifully.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

hopefully have learned a great deal from those who run it. They are incredible.

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...

learning and growing all together as a community. Above all, Mosaic creates community and keeps it healthy through each session of campers. Staff and cabin leaders our their best to embody the kind of community we want to see, and there is much to be gained just from being there and being in it.

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

literally make peace more possible.

Ways to make it better...

I could be at Mosaic all the time!

In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...

NOT ENOUGH FUNDING!
