Review for The Mosaic Project, Oakland, CA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

Mosaic helped my boys grow to know themselves, be themselves, express themselves, and stand up for themselves with the strength of assertiveness instead of aggression. I cannot praise The Mosaic Project enough for enabling my sons to put into practice the life-saving skill of non-violent communication at Mosaic Camp and later in their daily lives. As a single mother of two black boys, one a teenager and another a pre-teen, I am constantly aware that they are using skills they learned in The Mosaic Project to navigate their world with grace and wisdom beyond their years!

I am so grateful I was able to experience The Mosaic Curriculum first hand at family camp. Mosaic Family Camp was life-changing for our entire family. The wild and beautiful setting of the camp and the "gametivities" helped us focus on each other - really hear and see each other. There were many times when I was moved to tears just hearing my sons express their feelings deeply and clearly. I am amazed that since attending The Mosaic Camp my children can genuinely appreciate that, even though I am their mother, I am also human and deserve empathy. This education in practicing empathy along with a 20-year-strong anti-racism curriculum makes The Mosaic Project unparalleled in non-profit organizations for children or adults.
