Kids AwakeningKids Awakening began in the dining room of Shantel Wells. She noticed her own children attracted all the neighborhood kids to her house, especially those children who were hurt, depressed, and just lost. Seeing the opportunity to bring more light and goodness into the world she began her program Kids Awakening.

She created avenues for those children to experience new things in life, but more important she started having conversations with them about their life challenges. Shantel created safe spaces for the struggling youth, allowing them to express themselves authentically and without judgement. She began see the influence these conversations had on the boys and girls world view. She saw their hardness start to soften.
