- Resilient Youth through Arts & Nature-Based Interventions: SLF expanded its arts-based prevention programming through school partnerships, community projects, and outdoor engagement. At Genesis Academy High School, SLF facilitated a year-long art curriculum for credit, meeting with students daily and integrating trauma-informed approaches with art history and mental health awareness. Students explored historical and contemporary artists with lived experiences of mental health challenges while practicing their own artistic skills. SLF also launched the "Migration of Change" Butterfly Project in partnership with community artist Adrian Garcia, engaging over 300 youth and senior citizens in painting wooden butterflies with messages of hope, peace, and love. Additional open studio events, including First Fridays, Family Saturdays, and after-school programs, provided ongoing creative access for the public. SLF also incorporated somatic practices such as salsa dance, connecting movement to emotional regulation and resilience. Nature-based interventions included hiking and community outings with youth groups, promoting wellness through outdoor experiences.Expenses $108,835 · revenue $9,970
