Barnstone believes in the Power of Art - not just as a creative outlet, but as a way for children facing adversity to heal, build resilience, and grow stronger.

What makes their approach so powerful?

1.Trauma-informed mentoring

2.One-on-one connections that last

3.Art as a tool for healing and self-expression

We’re proud to have Barnstone Art for Kids on the Neki platform, working tirelessly to help children bounce back and thrive.

🌱 Where Community and Nature Grow Together 🌱

At Farm Discovery at Live Earth, the fields are more than just rows of crops, they’re classrooms, gathering places, and sources of nourishment for the whole community.

Nestled in the Pajaro Valley of Santa Cruz County, this 150-acre organic farm and wild landscape is where youth and families learn how food, farming, and nature work hand in hand.

Through hands-on educational programs, they inspire youth to rethink their relationship with food and the earth, while also making sure fresh, organic produce reaches seniors, veterans, foster youth, farmworkers, and others in need.

This August, they’re opening their gates for hands-on workshops you won’t want to miss!

🥬 Ferment your own sauerkraut

🍞 Start a sourdough and bake fresh focaccia

💐 Pick your own farm-fresh bouquet at their monthly U-pick

It’s a chance to get your hands in the soil, learn new skills, and be part of a movement that’s nourishing both people and planet.

Because when a community learns to care for the land, the land gives back in abundance.🌾

💬 “You are not the problem. Your existence is resistance.”

This isn’t just a quote, it speaks to the core mission of Act Like You Matter.

This week, we’re highlighting a nonprofit, Act Like You Matter, that’s transforming school culture by helping students reclaim their power, find their voice, and stand tall in the face of bullying.

Founded by Amy Jones Anichini and inspired by her daughter’s painful experience with bullying, Act Like You Matter was born out of a single, urgent belief: No one should feel invisible or powerless just for being who they are.

Through live, student-led anti-bullying programs, resilience coaching, safe online communities, and powerful performances in schools, they’re showing students how to rise together.

🎥 Hear from Amy herself on why this work matters : https://youtu.be/T-xia5ClMB0

This isn’t about “fixing” kids. It’s about reminding them: “You are enough. You matter. And you are not alone.”

🌿 World Nature Conservation Day - July 28th

Nature doesn’t ask for much, just that we protect what gives us life.

Forests, rivers, oceans, and wildlife are under constant threat. But every small action counts.

Conserve water. Reduce waste. Plant trees. Protect biodiversity.

Today is a reminder that the future of our planet depends on what we choose to do right now.

Let’s stand for nature not just today, but every day.

Because when we care for nature, we care for ourselves.

Happy 4th of July!

This 4th of July, what if we reimagined freedom —

not just as the right to live free,

but as the opportunity to lift each other up?

Because maybe the true promise of freedom

isn’t just about independence —

but interdependence.

The ability to care.

To serve.

To give.

And to shape a country where no one is left behind.

This Independence Day, let’s move toward a kind of freedom

that includes everyone.

✨ Freedom with purpose. Service with heart.

Pride is not a parade. It’s also a protest, a poem, a healing space, a chosen family, a future being rewritten.

Pride isn’t just about showing up in June. It’s about unlearning, relearning, and making room — for stories that were silenced, for voices still rising, for joy that’s revolutionary.

This month, let’s go deeper:

Share stories that don’t make headlines.

Support grassroots LGBTQIA+ groups doing quiet, powerful work.

Start conversations that make space, not assumptions.

Celebrate the brilliance that exists beyond binaries.

Pride isn’t about being perfect. It’s about being present.

Be the person who listens, learns, lifts And let us know: What’s something you’re unlearning this Pride?

🌿 World Environment Day - June 5th🌿

Nature is quietly working miracles every day — even in the smallest moments you might miss.

Did you know that walking barefoot on natural ground can lower stress and inflammation? It’s called earthing — nature’s simple gift to our health.

Or that a few neighbors planting pollinator gardens in forgotten spaces can bring life back to the whole street with bees and butterflies?

Caring for the environment isn’t just about big projects — it’s about the tiny connections that nurture us all.

So today, take a moment to notice one small way your life touches the natural world. What’s your hidden impact?

Because when we care for nature, we care for ourselves — and for each other. Together, these small moments spark hope for a greener future.
