Events
Creative Community Experiences
We host hands-on activities at school events, pop-ups, community gatherings, and private events that highlight creativity, mindfulness, and connection. With the Sunbeams Bus—our mobile classroom—we create interactive spaces like art stations, journaling booths, and calming corners. Each experience is youth-friendly, culturally responsive, and designed to meet communities where they are while supporting joy and social-emotional growth.
Workshops
Mindfulness, Expression & Growth
Our workshops center youth voice and emotional wellness through topics like mindfulness, self-care, journaling, identity, and creative expression. Offered both virtually and in person, sessions are welcoming, and adaptable for schools, afterschool programs, and community settings. Each workshop is interactive, reflective, and designed to help build confidence, emotional literacy, and a stronger sense of self and belonging.
Trainings
Building Capacity for Impact
Sunbeams offers professional development for educators, staff, and community leaders. Our network of experienced facilitators delivers trainings in mental health awareness, trauma-informed care, youth engagement, team building, and leadership development. Each session is interactive and grounded in real-world application, helping adults better support the emotional wellbeing of the youth they serve.
