The Amala Foundation is a small to mid-sized nonprofit based in Austin, Texas, focused on helping people connect with themselves and others and develop leadership within their communities. Founded in 2001, it delivers programs for youth and adults centered on social-emotional learning, mindfulness, and personal development. Youth programs blend mindfulness, movement, and sharing circles to help adolescents navigate challenges, connect across neighborhoods and backgrounds, and build healthy relationships and wellness practices. Adult offerings include workshops, trainings, and mindfulness classes designed for schools and organizations, addressing emotional intelligence, wellness, equity, and healthy communication. Accessibility is emphasized, with roughly 80% of youth participants receiving scholarships and programs open to all regardless of ability to pay. The programs bring together participants from diverse cultural, racial, and socioeconomic backgrounds, and research linked to its approach notes benefits in academics, behavior, stress management, and attitudes toward self and school.
