Participant Application

Welcome!

Thank you for your interest in the Mindfulness Matters for Teen Well-Being (MMTW) Program.

This isn’t just another class.

Mindfulness Matters is a transformational experience for teens who envision a world where well-being is prioritized and people care for themselves, each other, and the planet, and who are committed to learning the skills and tools to cultivate their own highest well-being while contributing to the well-being of others and our shared future. 

This program is designed for teens who are self-motivated, curious, open-minded, and ready to grow. Through mindfulness, emotional intelligence, resilience, self-awareness, and meaningful connection, you’ll develop practical tools that can positively impact every area of your life, including preparing you for college and the world of adulthood. Leadership at top-tier colleges and universities are increasingly vocal about wanting applicants who are prepared to handle life on campus and thrive, not just in the classroom, but outside of it. These are the skills you don’t learn in academic classrooms, and that we teach you in the Mindfulness Matters program. 

Because we intentionally keep each cohort small to create a safe, engaging, and supportive learning environment, not everyone who applies will be accepted.

We carefully review every application to ensure that students are genuinely invested, willing to participate, and ready to contribute to the experience.

There are no perfect answers. We simply ask that you answer honestly and thoughtfully.
