Vessels of Hope
Vessels of Hope (VOH) is a youth initiative under the Charlotte Center for Mindfulness, led by Ireisha “IV” Vaughn and Shakeyla Mitchell. Dedicated to sharing mindfulness techniques with youth from underserved communities, Vessels of Hope aims to reduce mental health challenges and build emotional resilience among these individuals.
The VOH team conducts workshops that teach youth the benefits of meditation and mindfulness, helping them understand their emotions and "inner world" more deeply. These workshops include activities such as journaling, somatic techniques, mindful conversations, and more. Recognizing that true impact occurs when educators and parents are also engaged, the VOH team offers sessions for these groups as well, ensuring a supportive environment for the youth.
The team has had the honor of conducting sessions for various organizations, including Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools, the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, HOBY Youth Leadership Conference, Time Out Youth, Johnson & Wales University, and many more.
Please note that Vessels of Hope is an educational program offering life skills and is not a substitute for mental health care. Our focus is on providing mindfulness and emotional resilience training to complement, but not replace, professional mental health services.
