The PennZone

PHILADELPHIA - PennZone -- Inner Strength Education (ISE) has received a $60,000 grant from the Curaterra Foundation to pilot and expand its Out-of-School Time (OST) programs. These programs are designed to provide mindfulness and social-emotional learning (SEL) resources to students in underserved schools, creating safe and engaging environments for personal growth beyond the classroom.

"We are grateful to the Curaterra Foundation for supporting this vital initiative," said Amy Edelstein, Executive Director of ISE. "Our OST programs not only complement traditional education but also empower students to develop critical life skills like emotional regulation, resilience, and self-awareness."

The funding will enable ISE to collaborate with community partners and reach more students across Philadelphia, furthering its mission to transform education through mindfulness and SEL.
