My Nonprofit Reviews

My story with Spirituality for Kids began with a profound observation. As I became more immersed in a specific community, I noticed that the young adults I was surrounded by behaved markedly different from any young adults I had socialized with before; their social-emotional skills were well developed, their sense of self more defined, and their general level of happiness was more authentic and consistent. There was one thing all these young adults shared in common: they had been enrolled in the Spirituality for Kids program as children and teens. Each young adult credited SFK with having a lasting influence.

I went on to attend a free SFK intro session and I was blown away by the content - both it's depth and it's simplicity, and all I could think was - why is this program not in every school and every home? Every child deserves this type of education. Eventually I enrolled in the Spirituality for Kids teacher training certification program. The certification program was extremely well organized, insightful, and fun! I was challenged to internalize lessons I would one day teach to children/teens, and through this, was able to work on my own spiritual-social-emotional development in new, unique ways. Since completing the certification program I have received ongoing support from the SFK staff and I will soon be teaching SFK for the first time. I look forward to being able to share what I believe is an invaluable gift.

There are many organizations doing meaningful work that impacts the world for the better. Spirituality for Kids stands out to me because it impacts the world on the seed level; consciousness. Children who grow up with healthy self-worth, self-regulation, and true care for others, grow into adults who show up in the world with more to give and less to take. This is the power of SFK.
