About MINDFUL YOUTH INSTITUTE
Mindful Youth Institute (MYI) is a small U.S.-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit focused on research-driven mindfulness interventions for at-risk children and students with learning or behavioral challenges. The organization develops classroom and one-on-one programs, digital resources (videos, books, games), and research protocols to measure effects on attention, emotion regulation, creativity, and prosocial behavior.
MYI maintains published research downloads and educational materials on its official website, lists an active research/advisory team (including university-affiliated research assistants), and posts its IRS tax-exempt determination letter and Form 990-N on the site. In the last 2–3 years the organization has run an active fundraising campaign to develop an anti-bullying intervention (game/VR + compassion meditation) and has continued adding resources and classroom offerings.
