CEED Team Members engage in volunteer efforts to nurture relations among children, caregivers, and surrounding systems of community partners and Boston University.
Through Planting CEEDs of Joy & Peace, CEED Team Members collaborate with one another and community-based organizations to provide social, emotional, literacy, and other resources to members of Boston University and our community partners. As several of our members are certified yoga teachers and specialize in social-emotional practices, we offer spaces of contemplative practices (e.g., dance, art, yoga, music, mindfulness) through Wheelock Wellness Gatherings at Boston University’s Wheelock College of Education & Human Development. If you are a Wheelock member and would like to join our Wellness Gatherings, please email ceed@bu.edu.
Additionally, we have hosted mindfulness and yoga sessions with our community partners (ABCD Head Start and Fostering Family Leaders), supporting educators, staff, parents, and children. In the past, we have collaborated with ABCD Head Start and Jumpstart Boston at previous center retreats, where we supported literacy kit drives for children and caregivers. Furthermore, we supported the DeKalb Partners for Early Learning at their 16th Annual Early Literacy Celebration, alongside our partners of the Elevating Equity project.
