KIPP Rise Academy Newark

In June 2022, Kyle N., Principal at KIPP Rise Academy Newark, made a bold decision to partner with us. 

After two years of working with KIPP Rise Academy we saw remarkable changes such as, 

  • 22% Decrease in Teacher Brunout 
  • 17% Increase in Educators' Feeling Like Their Voices Are Being Heard
  • 94% of Teachers Said They Are More Eager to Stay 



He knew the realities that something needed to change after witnessing passionate teachers leave the profession they love. 

But the challenge of retaining teachers while successfully onboarding new staff members was a stark reality that demanded compassionate change.  


⭐️ Your Impact: 

Your support can help us impact over 1,200 teachers in the New York and Newark area! Ensuring that we hire more full-time and part-time healing circle facilitators. Your contribution is key to bringing healing to under-resourced schools.

Honoring our Donors, Uplifting Teacher Wellbeing!

“What I learned is that at the end of the day it’s a process. Just like hitting the gym, growth as a team is a process. 

We all began at a certain level, we maintained consistency, carved out the necessary time and space, held ourselves accountable, and most importantly, we were willing to do something completely different that took wholehearted commitment. 

Once we crossed that threshold, the real magic happened, and that’s when you start reaping the incredible benefits of everyone’s hard work."


— Kyle Newsome, School Leader at KIPP Rise Academy

About Healing Schools Project

Founded by a Black teacher, Wenimo Okoya, Healing School Project’s programs were centered around teachers of color; when programs are built around those furthest away from systemic privilege, everyone benefits.

As a team we are uniquely equipped to work with K-12 schools, due to our personal experiences as educators and practitioners at the intersection of health and education.

We believe in a future where all schools are places where people feel safe and supported mentally, emotionally, psychologically while centering joy and wellbeing for their teachers and students.
