Mindful Me is a 10 lesson curriculum for elementary school aged youth and their caregivers. These lessons can be completed with a single youth or with groups of youth. Lessons are adapted from Mindful Me, a peer-review and published National 4-H Curriculum, which was developed by academics with the University of California.

While these lessons can stand alone to teach youth mindfulness strategies, the Mindful Me curriculum provides additional background and training for educators, more activities, and additional resources. "The overall program aims to promote mindful practices that lead to improvements in managing one’s own goals, developing a sense of self, time management, stress management, emotional regulation, and mindful eating practices. Specific outcomes from youth participation in the curriculum include short-term (skill development and knowledge gain), mid-term (increased stress management, mindful eating, etc.), and long-term (improved physical, emotional, and social health) benefits" (Iaccopucci, Soule, & Lewis, 2019).
