Two out of every three children are affected by chronic stress and those in poverty feel it more than others. That stress is toxic and has a profoundly negative impact on a child's ability to learn in school. In many cases, this prevents achievement and contributes to the repeated cycle of generational poverty. Inner Explorer is committed to unlocking human potential and fostering well-being for millions of students and teachers through the daily practice of mindfulness.
In the past year, Inner Explorer has been able to help nearly 300,000 students in more than 10,000 classrooms reduce stress and improve academic performance. As you consider your holiday giving, we invite you to join us as we work to change the world, one student at a time.
