Learning to understand our emotions and how to manage them with skill is one of the most important lessons any human being can learn. The San Francisco Education Fund is seeking volunteers living in the SF Bay Area with a consistent Mindfulness practice to lead 20 to 30-minute Mindfulness sessions once a week in public school classrooms in San Francisco. Volunteers will teach elementary school students focusing on techniques, based on the Mindful Arts in the Classroom curriculum, to help them cultivate the skill of present-moment awareness. Some opportunities for volunteers without a consistent Mindfulness practice may be available in the form of assistant roles. Our last training for the 2024-2025 school year will be on Thursday, January 16th, 2025!
Please learn more about our program and fill out an application here: https://sfedfund.org/volunteer-programs/#mindfulness
We look forward to working with you!
