Our Vision
A world where all children, despite their ethnicity, language, gender, economic status, and other identities, experience safe, stable, nurturing relationships and environments both at school and at home.
Our Mission
Glowmundo exists to cultivate resilience in children and youth, born from something that lives within all of us: inner strength.
What we do
At Glowmundo we collaborate with parents and caregivers, educators, and school administrators to educate & build practices at school and at home that offer children and youth nurturing, supportive relationships; living, developing, playing, and learning in safe, stable, protective, and equitable environments; having opportunities for constructive social engagement and connectedness; and learning social and emotional competencies.
We believe that positive childhood experiences (PCEs) drive healthy child development and lessen the lifelong effects of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), prevent neglect, and build resilience.

Our Values
-
Connection is at the core of everything we stand for. We help children and adults establish a deeper connection with themselves, creating space for more meaningful connections with others. These connections create the foundations for positive, resilient communities.
-
We set out to deeply understand and honor the knowledge and diverse experiences of all of our community members, big and small. We work in partnership to shape and strengthen both culturally and community-responsive programming that creates safe spaces for listening, learning, and ultimately trusting in oneself and others.
-
Every person has the potential to recognize, and experience joyful moments throughout their day. These small moments fuel emotional and physical well-being. Cultivating and holding an inner sense of wellness enables one to invoke optimism and see beyond challenging circumstances.
-
When we understand how our own emotions impact our behavior, we are granted the agency to shape our daily experiences. We can recognize emotional triggers, along with areas of personal strength and challenge, pause to reflect, and choose how we want to behave. Being aware of ourselves allows us to attune to our own needs and the needs of others.
