UPLIFT Youth Foundation

UPLIFT School Program

The UPLIFT School Program brings Social-Emotional Learning to life through movement, mindfulness, and meaningful connection. Students build lifelong mental wellness tools including self-awareness, emotional regulation, stress management, empathy, and healthy relationship skills — all critical supports as youth navigate increasing mental health challenges. As demand for student wellness services continues to grow, many schools face limited funding and lack the resources to provide consistent, preventative mental health programming. UPLIFT works to bridge this gap by delivering accessible, in-school programs that ensure students receive the support they need to thrive — regardless of a school’s budget. Our core program offerings include: 4, 6, or 8-week series (one session per week) In-school or after-school delivery Research-based SEL curriculum 30–60 minute sessions Led by UPLIFT-certified mentors All materials and supplies included Each series typically serves 15–30 students, allowing for intentional, small-group connection and impact. In addition, UPLIFT facilitates one-time workshops and large-scale wellness events, reaching up to 800 students in a single day, expanding access to mindfulness and movement practices across entire campuses. Through both ongoing series and large-scale activations, UPLIFT is committed to increasing access to mental wellness resources and ensuring no student is left without the tools to support their well-being.
