The Kit
for Centering Black Youth Wellbeing
Thank you to everyone who joined us for this engaging webinar featuring Richard Marsella, Executive Director of Community Music Schools of Toronto (CMST) . Richard explored transformative models in community music — from noise parades to musical playgrounds — and shared how music can foster creativity, inclusion, healing, and belonging.
Missed the session?
The recording will be available soon on our Knowledge Hub. In the meantime, we invite you to read a YouthREX Research Summary based on Richard’s doctoral dissertation, The Musical Playground as a Vehicle for Community-Building.
We're excited to launch New Leaf Foundation’s Mindfulness Toolkit on Learn by YouthREX. The Toolkit includes lesson plans with bite-sized activities to engage youth.
Through a partnership with YouthREX and other community organizations, New Leaf’s long-standing commitment to accessibility ensured that many of their resources and tools could continue to be available publicly. In addition to the Mindfulness Toolkit, which is fully accessible on Learn by YouthREX, you can also explore additional New Leaf resources on YouthREX’s Knowledge Hub.
