We are in the process of improving this program, and cannot take additional applications at this time. Thank you for your patience as we learn and improve what we can do together to help our youth!
We expect to reopen applications in March of 2025.
Payton's Project has funded Wellness Rooms in multiple middle and high schools, giving our youth the space and guidance they need to step away from stressors and return to the classroom better prepared to actually learn.
For the 2024-2025 school year, we are in the process of working with an elementary school in Prince William County to bring similar spaces into individual classrooms. These Calming Corners will give youth the opportunity to learn coping mechanisms and return to learning, without the need for them to leave their primary classrooms during the day.
Check back as we learn and improve our plans for these spaces, or reach out to [email protected] with any questions!
