About us
The Amala Foundation inspires people of all ages and backgrounds to connect with themselves and others, grow as individuals, and serve as conscious leaders in their communities. Since 2001, Amala has been building a healthy and diverse community by focusing on a culture of belonging. For youth, Amala offers social-emotional learning (SEL) programs that bring together children and teens from diverse cultural, racial, and socioeconomic backgrounds. For adults, Amala offers professional workshops, trainings and mindfulness classes. Our youth programs offer students a unique blend of mindfulness, movement, and sharing circles to help them learn to navigate the challenges of adolescence, connect with peers from different neighborhoods and backgrounds, build healthy relationships, and develop wellness practices. Research indicates that youth who participate in social-emotional learning programs demonstrate improved academics and classroom behavior, an increased ability to manage stress and depression, and better attitudes about themselves, others, and school. Amala’s programs are open to all youth, regardless of their ability to pay. Eighty percent of participants receive scholarships. For adults, we partner with schools and organizations to custom build workshops, trainings, and classes focused on emotional intelligence, personal and community wellness, equity and cultural responsiveness, mindfulness, self-care, and healthy communication.

10 more hours to donate during Amplify Austin! Thank you to all the incredible people in our community who have donated. In the first 14 hours, we've raised $3,725 from 33 generous donors! You are supporting The Travis County Transformation Project which helps youth in our community to access life-changing support and care instead of jail time. Since the launch of the pilot program in June, we have seen first-hand the need our community has for this critical and innovative program and the impact we are having on the families we serve. Your generous support could propel this program into its second year, enabling us to extend our services to 30 more young individuals and their families. Your contribution could truly make a difference. To learn more and contribute to our fundraising page, follow this link: https://lnkd.in/gj4iHDHs

Happy Amplify Austin Day! For the last few years, Amala has been working on an amazing project in Travis County that is helping to transform our juvenile justice system. The Travis County Transformation Project diverts youth from juvenile detention into a restorative justice program that works with both youth and caregivers to repair harm, improve conflict management skills, and break intergenerational cycles of violence. This Amplify Austin we need your support to continue to fund this work for more families! Donate at I Live Here, I Give Here by following this link: https://lnkd.in/gj4iHDHs
