Our Programs
Our programs provide a safe space for young adults to learn about their core selves and to use that knowledge to develop mindfulness-based skills that promote self-actualization, individual and team leadership, and social-emotional solutions to better their future, their communities, and the world at large.
Self-Love Bootcamp
Self-Love Bootcamp (SLBC) is an integrative, social-emotional learning program, created to support young adults in developing dynamic mental wellness practices that result in higher self-esteem and self-confidence, reduction in symptoms of anxiety, depression, self-harm, and suicidal ideations, while improving resiliency and self-love.
Leaders Internship for Teens
(LIT!): Focuses on leadership, education, project-based learning, community service, social-emotional skills, and mindfulness. We place significant focus on preparing high school students to become leaders on their campuses and within their communities, and to transition to college and/or post-high school career goals.
Mindful Youth Ambassadors
MYA continues where the SLBC ends. Here, youth take their self-compassion journey to a new level! Having completed the SLBC, they are now ready to pay it forward by deepening their mindfulness practice with this train the trainer program, becoming Teen Leaders for their families, schools, and communities. MYA is teamed with our certification program, Teen Mental Health First Aid program.
Black Male Mentoring Program
Light of Loving Kindness's Black Male Mentoring Program is a transformative 16-week journey empowering Black high school males. Rooted in mindfulness, mental wellness, and the traditions of the African diaspora, the program provides mentorship, cultural connection, and social-emotional learning. Participants develop confidence, emotional resilience, and leadership skills within a sacred, supportive space.
GreenHood Initiative
The GreenHood Initiative empowers high school youth to become environmental leaders and advocates. Through hands-on learning, environmental education, and community engagement, teens develop essential life skills, connect with nature, and learn to care for the planet and their communities.
What Teens Are Saying

SLBC Participant
“I feel happy with myself, I love myself. I started SLBC feeling insecure and near the verge of hating myself. But now I am much happier.”
SLBC Participant
“The lesson of forgiveness, compassion and personal best was able to help. I usually struggle to forgive and truly mean it without holding a grudge. This lesson taught me how usually not forgiving puts more strain upon ourselves and it becomes a burden to ourselves. Although I have not fully succeeded in this task I am slowly getting there."

"I believe that I’m much more confident and comfortable than how I was before. The reason I say this is because I’m no longer putting myself at fault for having boundaries or simply doing something that doesn’t make me happy. Being here with this program has made me realize that I’ve always should’ve of poured more love into myself. I love myself with no regrets!"
