What is Mind Education? Reflecting on the challenges young people face today, there is a greater sense of urgency for youth to obtain a successful and healthy mindset. Traditional education hints at equipping students with practical social wisdom and resilience of the heart but rarely addresses these topics directly. However, Mind Education covers a real-world tested curriculum that teaches the principles of the heart and mind. Those trained in Mind Education have been able to apply their training and improve the quality of their lives immediately and practically. With proper implementation through various societal institutions, students will use these tools to build a greater life for themselves and towards a brighter future for society. Where is Mind Education needed? Educators, first responders, law enforcement, correctional institutions, and public and private agencies have expressed the need for education that teaches the principles of self-control, deep thinking, and communication. Currently, Mind Education is utilized to enhance academic environments for students, re-train offenders to reduce recidivism rates, increase workplace cohesion in business settings, and improve membership retention rates for police and fire departments in more than 40 countries around the world. Effective and flexible, Mind Education brings the best out of people through connection and exchange. Mind Education in New York public schools.

The Youth Life Advancement Initiative meeting invites community leaders, first responders, law enforcement, correctional officials, pastors, and educators across the country to discuss the implementation of Mind Education. This curriculum vividly illustrates to students the importance of deep thinking, self-discipline, connection to others, the exchange of the heart, and the power of a change in character in the hopes of building healthy-minded leaders. The meeting will take place on Friday, September 30, starting 4:30 PM at Dena'ina Civic and Convention Center (600 W 7th Ave, Anchorage, AK 99501); refreshments will be provided. The meeting will be followed by the 2022 Gracias Christmas Cantata, a musical extravaganza that has reunited families, strengthened communities, inspired young artists, and shared the love of God with those who need it the most. You will automatically get VIP seats for the Gracias Christmas Cantata with attendance at the Youth Life Advancement Initiative meeting. Please RSVP to reserve seats for you and your guests at the Youth Life Advancement Initiative and the Gracias Christmas Cantata (7 PM, Dena'ina Civic and Convention Center). Through these various initiatives, we are working to positively impact our communities. We cordially invite you to this ongoing conversation that strives to bring about lasting change in our world. 2022 Gracias Christmas Cantata
