Each 1 Teach 1 (E1T1) is a BIPOC, woman-led 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Frederick, Maryland. Through a trauma-informed lens, we provide under-resourced and at-risk children and their families with vital social-emotional learning (SEL) skills through yoga, meditation, and mindfulness activities.

E1T1 utilizes the evidence-based CASEL (Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning) framework, which is grounded in research and principles of child and adolescent development. These programs are scientifically evaluated and have been proven to produce positive outcomes, helping youth grow socially, emotionally, and physically.

Founded by Danica Warden in 2020, at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, E1T1 began as an afterschool and summer program serving youth in the Lucas Village community. Since then, we have expanded to offer in-classroom and before-school services, and after-school programs available at Yogamour Healing Arts Center.

Thanks to the support of local sponsors such as Ausherman Family Foundation, Delaplaine Foundation Inc., The City of Frederick, The Community Foundation, and Second Street & Hope, we continue to grow. In 2024, we are proud to partner with 10 Frederick County elementary schools, reaching over 520 Pre-K students.
