If you ever find yourself with some extra time before your next BFI class or workshop, you absolutely need to check out our Zen Den.

It is honestly the perfect little corner to just clear your mind, recharge for a bit, escape, and find a little peace of mind.

Whether you need to meditate or just sit in silence, this space is definitely a hidden gem at our center. We even have a zero gravity 4D full body relaxation massage chair.

Make sure to stop by whenever you need a quick break from your hectic schedule.

See you in the quiet zone! ✨

BFI Mentee Testimonial Spotlight. Spotlight

We are pleased to introduce our phenomenal Youth Vice President of the BFI Afterschool Mentoring Program.

We are so proud of the growth and confidence our VP has shown us!

Also, if you know me (Kia), you know that I will frequently put our mentees on the spot. I may ask them to present their 30 second elevator pitch to me, or just ask them how their week is going; but some things you will absolutely do while answering my questions are...stand up straight, elevate your voice, not fidget with things, not use filler words like "uhhh, ummmm, you know", etc. This practice is designed not to induce stress, but to cultivate quick thinking, foster confidence in public speaking, and refine essential leadership skills.

We truly have thee best group of mentees!

We are pleased to introduce the Youth President of the BFI Afterschool Mentoring Program, who shares her experience regarding the impact of our organization.

We are incredibly proud of her professional development.

Also, if you know me (Kia), you know that I will frequently put our mentees on the spot. I may ask them to present their 30 second elevator pitch to me, or just ask them how their week is going; but one thing you will absolutely do while answering my questions is...stand up straight, elevate your voice, not fidget with things, not use filler words like "uhhh, ummmm, you know", etc. This practice is designed not to induce stress, but to cultivate quick thinking, foster confidence and pouse in public speaking, and refine essential leadership skills.

We truly have thee best group of mentees!
