“You have found life is best lived with a healthy balance of give and take; you have also figured out that not everything has power worth absorbing, and not everything is worth putting your power into.”
— Sydney, Teenage Participant
“You were a beautiful teacher for me. I was inspired by your personality. You taught me so much more than English. Your classes inspired me to be a teacher who shows kindness, happiness, and true attention to students. Teaching is not about instruction but about teaching to reflect about the world and to grow as a person. You are one of my favorite teachers I have had. You are genuine and you are not afraid of smiling to the world. You transfer good vibes and at the same time you are wise and understand everybody.”
— Mirza, Teenage Participant

“Kristen has been such an asset to our children. I notice a shift in their ability to express themselves, what they are feeling and needing. I’ve seen that their confidence has been boosted in having her support in navigating personal and academic goals. She really listens and gets to know the whole child, embracing all the parts of them and at the same time gently guides them to expand their abilities and comfort zones”
— Mireille, Parent of Middle & High School Participants
