Youth Development and Well-Being
At The Well Collective, we are dedicated to supporting the growth and well-being of young people through holistic, restorative, and community-centered programs.
Our initiatives empower Richmond’s youth with the tools to navigate life’s challenges, build resilience, and thrive within their schools, families, and communities.
Our Initiatives and Impact
Social Emotional Learning (SEL)
Our SEL programs equip youth with the skills to manage challenges, regulate emotions, and build meaningful relationships—foundations for confident and compassionate leadership. Through mindfulness, self-reflection, and community engagement, participants cultivate critical thinking, personal responsibility, and a strong sense of agency.
Mental Health and Healing
We address mental health through restorative and preventative approaches that reduce risk factors tied to incarceration and substance use, while enhancing resilience, self-efficacy, and decision-making. Our programs provide mentorship, healing-centered support, and leadership opportunities that help youth transform adversity into positive action.
Youth Leadership Development
Beyond academics, our programs cultivate the next generation of change-makers. Youth learn to lead with purpose, emotional intelligence, and self-awareness.
We offer curriculum-based camps, in-school and after-school programs, and skill-development trainings designed to prepare young people to thrive and inspire positive change in their communities.
