                                                           pollution


                   Public schools, typically organized and funded by residential
                   districts, means that the quality of educational opportunities
                   depends directly on where one lives.
waste nots                       project


Living in poor
neighborhoods often
mean living in an
environment that is:

✤Unhealthy
✤Violent
✤Poor learning
opportunities




                       Only a small % of white children live in high poverty
                       neighborhoods compared to a majority of black children

                       1985-2000 * Raised in poverty of at least 20%
                                          * Black Children 66%
                                          * White Children 6%
waste nots                   project

                         Children who experience a reduction in their
                           neighborhood’s poverty rate have greater
                                    economic success in adulthood.


      Programs which invest in disadvantaged neighborhoods and
      reduce the concentration of poverty could enhance upward
      economic mobility for the children in such neighborhoods



Investments in children’s environment potentially facilitate economic
mobility among those living in the most disadvantaged
neighborhoods
waste nots                         project


If We Know:
 The majority of children of color live
  in communities of declining
  opportunities
 Lack of opportunities depress life
  chances of not only poor but middle-
  class families living there
 Investments in these neighborhoods
  reduce the concentration of poverty,
  providing powerful effects on the        Why Then:
  economic mobility for those children     ➡ Does the racial gap in economic mobility
                                             continue?
                                           ➡ In four decades have the inequality in
                                             children’s neighborhoods persist?
                                           ➡ With all of the programs designed assist
                                             the disadvantaged how does
                                             segregation continue to exist?

               Introducing M For Meditation

Intervening with a unique program of Relaxation
Techniques for stress-reduction

Children facing Extreme Hardship are experiencing a rise
in diagnoses of mental health problems

UCLA Studies have shown that Mindfulness Programs help
elementary-school students regulate their behavior, control
impulses, focus and plan ahead.
