Welcome
The mission of The Noble Path Foundation is to ensure a healthy future for our children by raising healthy children to inhabit our world.
Our Nourish to Flourish and AIM High programs are designed to help young people reach their highest potential by educating them on the importance of what they eat, how they move, and with whom they interact.
We offer fun and engaging social events in a safe and comforting environment; encourage creativity
and leadership skills via workshops and mentorship; and promote a variety of enrichment activities with community partners to broaden interests and cultivate wholesome habits.
Our goal is to provide a total wellness approach to offset the many challenges the youth of our communities face each day. We strive to put them on a path towards a brighter future and better health.

Week 6 of AIM High+Plus was all about Healthy Relationships: What they are, what they aren’t, and how to identify the warning signs. Krista Goddard from Laura’s House set the mood for open communication with a fun ice breaker, where each Jenga block posed a question and elicited a thoughtful response!
The second half was our career roundtable on sworn and non-sworn careers in law enforcement. The dynamic duo of Deputy Chris Sanders from the OC Sheriff’s Dept and Marcela Velasco, a forensic criminalist for the SD Sheriff’s Dept, had everyone engaged and excited about the many opportunities available on both sides of the badge!
Next week marks the end of this fantastic 7-week AIM High+Plus 2026 series! Our final keynote speaker, Susie Lantz, CEO of the San Clemente Chamber of Commerce, will be sharing her insights and experience on the importance of community, leadership, and networking. After our Certification Ceremony, it’s time to party! Let’s GO!

Still smiling... ❤️🎶 Here’s a look back at some of our favorite moments from Jamming for Joy: A Feel Good Funkraiser. Thank you to everyone who made this unforgettable afternoon possible!
Highlight Reel 8/8: The Team 🫶🏽
Pulling off an event like Jamming for Joy requires hundreds of hours coordinating dozens of moving parts. None of it would be possible without the hard work, dedication and enthusiasm of our TNPF fam!
Volunteers, employees, board members and community partners are the heart of our OHANA and I left this post for last because without them, none of the posts before this are possible. We are only the sum of our parts, and these parts are the heart and soul of everything we do. I am so eternally grateful for each and every one of them! 🥹🙏🏽💖

Being present.
Letting go.
Embracing the moment.
Appreciating the little things.
Staying positive.
Slowing down.
Checking perspective.
Enjoying the stillness.
We had us a Total Health Tuesday with Griffin Colapinto and Hannah Johnston that reminded us of all those things… and more!
The group did an 11-minute guided meditation and then journaled their thoughts about the experience. Since most of the group was new to meditation, they were pleasantly surprised at the results and expressed their desire to keep going and hopefully add these practices to their daily lives!
Huge thanks to Griffin and Hannah for sharing their positive affirmations and insights about a practice that has enhanced both their personal and professional lives. It was such a treat to have them both here and we especially look forward to successful WSL Championship events for Griffin in Tahiti and Fiji! 🌊🏆🤙🏽
