Who We Are

Create Calm is a non-profit organization dedicated to developing healthier, happier communities. Our mission is to build community and promote equal and inclusive access to healing and wellness through mental, physical, and emotional health education. We focus on developing essential life skills for optimal self-care, positive engagement, collaboration, and success in children and adults. Our yoga programs empower a culture of belonging where individuals understand and value themselves and others.

We provide scaffolding around all members of the school community, children and adults, to empower them to productively and effectively contribute to the community, to feel a sense of belonging, to value themselves and others, and be active, compassionate, resilient life-long learners.

For example, through our C.A.L.M. Youth Leadership Academy, Create Calm sponsors programs that give teens and pre-teens tools they can use to help themselves, while at the same time training teachers and counselors in stress-relief and conflict management skills and helping families learn ways to improve relationships.

These programs include classes, workshops, and trainings, featuring mindfulness curricula founded in core learning standards, SEL, CASEL, and NAEYC. Create Calm is particularly committed to supporting interactive experiential learning opportunities designed to strengthen connections and teach sustainable life skills, including vocational training, to children and adults.

What Volunteers Do

Yoga & Mindfulness Education: Mindfulness-Based Behavioral Health Education for children, teachers, families, schools, communities.

We train high school students to become children’s yoga instructors through the C.A.L.M. Youth Leadership Academy. Students then earn SSL hours while leading yoga and mindfulness classes to younger students in public schools in their area.
