What Worthy Beyond Purpose does

Worthy Beyond Purpose is a California-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (EIN 83-2928682) founded in 2018 by Connie Clotworthy and registered as a tax-exempt entity in 2019. The organization designs and delivers mindfulness and social-emotional learning (SEL) programs primarily targeting elementary school children (grades pre-K through 6) in Los Angeles County, with secondary programs for educators, parents, community adults, and veterans.

The core product is "The Zone," a proprietary 10-month weekly in-school mindfulness curriculum (August through May) covering meditation, breathwork, journaling, qigong, body awareness, and emotional regulation across defined monthly themes (community, mindfulness basics, senses, gratitude, joy, change, kindness, emotions, forgiveness, and affirmations). Each week features a 30-45 minute session led by one of eight trained facilitators, with students progressively building a physical "Mindfulness Toolkit" of tangible artifacts they retain at year-end. Complementing the in-school program, the organization offers the Midweek Meditation Break (a free weekly Zoom session attracting 20-40 adult participants), Beyond the Classroom (private sessions, wellness events, and children's mindfulness playdates), and self-paced Mindfulness Training courses on the Thinkific platform.

Worthy Beyond Purpose operates a hybrid revenue model combining donations and grants (primary), sliding-scale school partnership fees, online course sales, and private session/event income. As of the 2025-2026 school year, the organization serves 7 partner schools and 1,600+ students (up from 6 schools and 1,200 students the prior year), with cumulative reach of 15,000+ children since 2019. FY2024-25 total expenses were $196,028, with 60% allocated to programs. The organization reports multi-year outcome data, including a 30% reduction in school-wide conflict over 4-5 years, 40% decrease in student anxiety, and 15% improvement in grades across core subjects. Recent strategic developments include selection for the 2026 Gratitude Network Fellowship, geographic expansion into Inglewood, and a stated target to serve more than 2,500 students in the next school year.

Emerging players

• Yoga Ed. Organization bringing yoga and mindfulness tools into schools with curricula and teacher training. Comparable to WBP's blended yoga/breathwork/mindfulness curriculum and teacher-training product.

Direct peers

• Pure Edge: Nonprofit delivering yoga, mindfulness, and SEL curricula to schools, youth organizations, and veterans. Overlaps with WBP on elementary in-school mindfulness and on adult/veteran community programming.
• Move This World: PreK-12 SEL program delivering daily social-emotional learning experiences via video and curriculum. Comparable to WBP in targeting elementary SEL outcomes with structured, school-day programming.
• Mindful Schools: Nonprofit that trains educators and brings mindfulness and SEL programming into K-12 classrooms nationwide. Directly comparable to WBP's The Zone in-school curriculum and teacher-training mission, with a broader geographic footprint.
• MindUP (The Goldie Hawn Foundation): Evidence-based SEL program for K-12 with structured 15-lesson curriculum taught by classroom teachers. Closely comparable to The Zone in targeting elementary students with a multi-week, in-school mindfulness curriculum.
• Inner Explorer: Nonprofit providing daily audio-guided mindfulness practices for K-12 classrooms. Competes with WBP for the same school SEL budgets with a more scalable, audio-led delivery model.
• Calm Classroom: School-based mindfulness program offering brief daily practices and SEL resources for K-12. Overlaps with WBP on in-school mindfulness delivery for elementary students, with a more app-mediated distribution model.

Others

• Insight Timer: Free meditation app that hosts Connie Clotworthy's guided meditations as a content partner. Adjacent technology platform enabling WBP's adult community channel and an indirect competitor for adult mindfulness minutes.

Broad incumbents
