Growing Up Mindfully

G.U.M Squad Program
The G.U.M Squad Program helps kids to manage emotions, make positive choices and grow strong character from the inside out.
Rooted in the G.U.M Code — a collection of 8 virtues like patience, kindness and self-control — kids engage in games, lessons, songs and challenges that teaches them to make mindful choices that will stick with them as they grow up.
In this program, each week builds on the last and kids work collaboratively and individually toward Squad Goals to earn tokens, badges and unlock power-ups!
