Review for The Mosaic Project, Oakland, CA, USA
Every walk of life has experienced the feeling of wanting to belong and fear of being left out. The Mosaic Project motivates youth to reach to the core of this feeling and learn to embrace self while having empathy towards others. Every walk of life. "It takes a village to raise a child". I will not hesitate to continue to spread the greatness of this organization.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
I have heard many testimonials from the children who have attended the camps.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Enable the organization to take their mission into every elementary school rather than children having to attend camps. Their mission, if practiced daily at school, will transform many children; which, in turn, will transform many households. Children are born into their living situations; it's not by choice if their situation is not of good standards. The Mosaic Project can help them work through many situations in youth and as adults.
