GRIT After-School at Ross Road

At Grit, we run programs in brain-health + soul-resilience for youth. In an effort to combat an ever-increasing epidemic of anxiety in kids, we use mindful activities to show how strong our focus is, neuro-science based meditation (aka #braintrain) to show how strong our minds are, and awesome crafts to show how strong our creative sparks are.

We also talk about real topics like friendships + bullying, anxiety + mental health, stress, pressure,  identity + gender and what being an authentic human is really all about.

We laugh a lot and have a ton of fun and we’d love you to join us. All genders welcome.

Scholarships available.
