Beautiful work Vivian and the Kind Mind team! Thank you for bringing these life giving skills to children in our community who need them. You are contributing in such meaningful ways to building the resilient and thriving community that all of us at Resilient Santa Barbara County envision! THANK YOU!

This work WYP is doing is so fundamental to community wellbeing and community resilience. Let's face it - there is no resilience for a community unless there's resilience for everyone in the community. All kids - all people - need time in nature. We all need mentorship.
