Where Creativity Meets Well-Being!
At Amplified Change, we believe every child deserves a safe, welcoming space to express themselves, build confidence, and discover healthy ways to navigate life’s challenges. Our after-school programs combine the power of visual arts with meditation and grounding practices to support the whole child—mind, body, and spirit.
Through painting, drawing, and other hands-on creative projects, students explore their imagination, develop problem-solving skills, and experience the joy of self-expression. Each session begins with a healthy snack and a short mindfulness activity—deep breathing, guided visualization, or gentle movement—to help children transition from the busy school day into a calm, focused state, ready to create.
Why Families Love Our Programs
*Inclusive for all school-aged children and skill levels.
*Confidence-building activities that celebrate progress, not perfection.
*Mindfulness tools to manage stress, improve focus, and regulate emotions.
*Community and connection through collaborative art projects and shared experiences.
Our programs are more than just a way to pass the time after school. They’re a safe haven where children can develop resilience, express themselves freely, and build skills they’ll carry for life. Parents, get ready to see positive changes at home, from improved emotional regulation to increased confidence and creativity.
