Mindfulness with the Mets

In 2022, the Mets launched “Mindfulness with the Mets,” a program focused on enhancing the health and wellness of young members of the community.

This program focuses on encouraging young students to learn about the importance of mental health and find ways to bring positive thinking and solutions to help ease anxiety and cope with mental health challenges. For the 2023-2024 school year, the Amazin’ Mets Foundation provided a grant to Girls Inc. NYC to fund their Mind Body Matters mental health program at two middle schools in Queens. The Mets visited the two schools and conducted a mental wellness panel, lead discussion groups, hosted a yoga session and provided giveaways to the girls participating in the program.

In 2022, the Foundation also funded a grant to the Child Center of NY for a Mets Clubhouse in their new wellness center in Woodside, Queens, which offers therapy by licensed mental health and substance abuse professionals to children and adolescents — including those in foster care.
