Intergenerational Spaces for Healing & Growth

Healing-Centered Education Through the Arts

Kindred Schools

Kindred Schools brings arts-based SEL, restorative practices, and wellness programming into schools. We believe mental health, creativity, and emotional intelligence should be embedded in education—not treated as an afterthought.

SEL Through the Arts: Helping youth process emotions through creative storytelling and self-expression

Healing-Centered Learning: Integrating trauma-informed, culturally responsive practices into school spaces

Youth and Educator Training: Supporting teachers, counselors, and staff in leading creative, restorative spaces.

Bring Kindred Schools to Your Community

About Us

Kindred LLC is not just one thing—it is a constellation of offerings, each rooted in healing, self-expression, and community care. These spaces are fluid, responsive, and intentionally designed to challenge the idea that art, healing, and education must exist in silos.

Intergenerational Spaces for Healing & Growth

"Kindred has provided numerous workshops for our youth at Chicago Youth Centers. The team promotes kindness, acceptance, and recognizes differences. The youth value the time and the opportunity to have an open safe space to express themselves. Kindred is forever part of the CYC culture and family. We value their work immensely!"

(President & CEO, CHICAGO YOUTH CENTERS)
"What stood out to me the most about this program was the inclusivity and the motivational support. You’re constantly reminded of how great you are at your craft, and whenever you feel down about a mistake, you're always lifted back up. I really appreciated the creative freedom provided in every aspect of the program. I would absolutely recommend Kindred to others, especially if you're looking for a non-judgmental space to learn and grow in art."
