CHECK OUT OUR 2026-27 SCHOOL YEAR PROGRAMMING

20th Anniversary Celebration

20th Anniversary Celebration

We want to send you gratitude for being part of our community. 

At our celebration, we heard the voices of our AMAZING student peacemakers. We listened as our educators spoke to the deep transformation that happens in a school’s community over years of working with Soul Shoppe. And… we had a ton of fun dancing and winning fantastic prizes! 

Just this week, a parent sent a donation with a note about Soul Shoppe’s positive impact on their family and home:

“Our 7yr-old matured in just a few sessions more than he did through most of virtual learning and has taught the methods in our household. Inspiring!”

Yes, we are INSPIRED!

We crunched some numbers… over these 20 years, we’ve supported 7,500 parents and 18,000 teachers to be empathetic adult role models for our next generation.

We have delivered over 48,000 workshops to schools… which for those of you who have seen our work means we have hit the play button on Aretha Franklin’s “Respect” 48,000 times 🙂

We have worked directly with over 560,000 individual kids, some of whom are now grown up… paying taxes, voting, and beginning their careers.

Of course it is our community (you!) who enables us to continue our work. You. Are. Amazing!

We’ve listed a few incredible ways you can take action to help Soul Shoppe launch into the NEXT 20 YEARS of big-hearted school programs.

  1. Donate! We’ve raised $14,750 towards our June 30 goal of $20,000! We are SO close to our goal. If you’d like to help us close the gap with a donation, please click here to support.
  1. Record a short video! Please let us know why you love Soul Shoppe! Record a 30-60 second video about our impact on your life! Click here to record your video!
  1. Connect us to more schools! Maybe your friends’ kid is starting at a new elementary school and you suggest they look into Soul Shoppe. Or… maybe you are at a barbecue and someone mentions they work in the local school district? This is a GREAT opportunity to tell them about Soul Shoppe, and maybe connect us all over email.
  1. Share our content online. We put a lot of work into our newsletter and social media efforts. Please spread the Soul Shoppe love by sending to friends and family! Good goes around when we all pitch in and engage when we are able.

Thank you again for what YOU have done to make our 20 years a success, and the next 20 years a reality!

Get Your Change On! Recap

Get Your Change On! Recap

In order to become a change-maker, you must first learn to adapt to change in a healthy way.

Let’s be honest with ourselves for a moment — although change is necessary, it can also be extremely difficult.

It can cause our emotional balloons to fill up and be on the verge of leaking.

It can cause us to seek comfort in ways that are harmful to ourselves.

It can even cause us to have a negative outlook every time we are approached with something new.

But here is a reminder that how you adapt to change depends on how you react to change.

Read that again.

If we dig deep, lean into our resiliency and approach change with a curious mind, we can face big changes with more confidence, we can build better habits to manage uncertainty and most importantly, we can manage difficult emotions and empty our emotional balloons.

Then change not only becomes possible, it becomes fun!

And who doesn’t love fun?

In this month’s community event, we explored many healthy ways to cope with change that leave us feeling comforted, energized, and excited to move forward with the unexpected.

Get Your Change On! was a truly transformational experience where we played fun games, shared insightful stories, and even shook a tail feather!

Don’t just take our word for it! Check out this exciting recap video from Dr. Pooch:
