Holistic Roots
Mentoring Program
Holistic Roots is an innovative mentoring program specifically designed for graduates of our Holistic Me program who are now in middle and high school. The program is aimed at fostering a seamless transition from elementary school to high school, providing a "continuum of care" to support our students all the way through graduation and beyond. Through Holistic Roots, we aim to bridge the gap between our elementary level Holistic Me program and our high school level mindfulness programs.
Holistic Roots aims to nurture, inspire, and motivate mentees to navigate middle school successfully and broaden their vision for the future.
The Holistic Roots program provides a supportive network for students, especially those who have experienced trauma. By introducing students to new people and ideas, the program aims to help them thrive in middle school and successfully transition to high school.
With a team of integrative experts and proven practices from HLF, the program nurtures, inspires, and motivates mentees to succeed and achieve their goals beyond high school.

From the Holistic Life Foundation’s 20 original students, 18 of them graduated from high school on-time, early, or received their GED.
18 of that 20 enrolled in college or working full-time, with students attending Emory University, The Maryland Institute College of Art, Limestone College, Frostburg State University, Baltimore City Community College, and others.
3 students served on the Baltimore City Commission on Sustainability Youth Advisory Group, planning sustainability programs and events, and testifying in front of the Baltimore City Council.
None of that original group was incarcerated while in the program.
