Project EMPOWER

Where Youth Build Resilience, Strengthen Voice, and Grow Together

​​

Project Empower is an after-school program held at Cielo Vista Charter School within PSUSD that helps children and youth develop emotional awareness, body regulation, and healthy relationship skills. Through movement, storytelling, games, and restorative circles, students learn to notice their feelings, track their nervous system responses, how to return to a zone of calm, and make safe, kind choices.

​

Each grade-level group focuses on age-appropriate growth and empowerment:

​

Brave Little Hearts (Grades K–2): Learning big feelings, calm minds & bodies, kindness, and safe choices through play.

 

Own It (Grades 3–4): Learning concepts around emotional awareness, empathy, boundary setting, and accountability.

 

Level Up (Grades 5–6): Strengthening confidence, focus, and self-leadership through communication, resilience, and group connection.

 

Real Talk (Grades 7–8): Developing voice, value-based leadership, and safe relationship skills through honest discussion and peer support.

​

Rooted in trauma-informed, body-based practices, Project Empower gives students practical tools to regulate, connect, and lead with empathy—fostering stronger, more resilient school communities.
