Youth Wellness & Enrichment
The ALLICE Collective supports the mental well-being and social-emotional development of young people through culturally responsive, trauma-informed programming that integrates creative arts and mindfulness.
Wisdom & Worth
Wisdom & Worth is The ALLICE Collective's social-emotional wellness program for students in grades 6–8, centering the experiences of Black youth and other historically marginalized young people.
Grounded in the CASEL framework for social and emotional learning, the program integrates creative arts, group discussions, mindfulness, and community service to help students develop self-awareness, manage emotions, strengthen relationships, and make responsible decisions.
Inside a Wisdom & Worth Workshop
Wisdom & Worth combines three components to support students' social-emotional development.
Personal Development
Through group discussion and guided activities, students explore self-awareness, communication, relationships, and decision-making.
Creative Arts
Music, storytelling, and other creative activities provide opportunities for students to express themselves and explore their experiences.
Mindfulness
Breathing exercises, movement, and reflection help students practice managing stress, recognizing emotions, and developing self-regulation skills.
