Classes for System-Involved Youth
We have offered yoga and mindfulness classes at the Juvenile Justice Intervention Center, the Jefferson Parish Diversion program, the Orleans Justice Center, and the Welcoming Project (a re-entry project led by the Travis Hill School.) We are grateful to our partners in the secured facilities, as well as our partnerships with organizations serving youth as they return home.

We offer yoga and mindfulness classes open to all young people
