Roots of Resilience
About the Program
Roots of Resilience is a youth mental wellness and leadership program created by Maya’s Love for middle and high school students. Designed as a small-cohort experience, the program creates a supportive space where young people can build emotional resilience, confidence, leadership skills, and meaningful community connections.
Running from February through April, students participate in monthly full-cohort sessions focused on mental wellness, self-care, growth mindset, leadership development, and community engagement. High school students also participate in additional internship sessions centered on digital storytelling, advocacy, and youth voice initiatives.
Students participating in Roots of Resilience represent schools and communities across South Texas, creating opportunities for connection, collaboration, mentorship, and shared leadership experiences among youth from diverse backgrounds and experiences.
At the heart of Roots of Resilience is the belief that young people deserve spaces where they feel seen, supported, empowered, and equipped with tools to care for themselves and their communities.
