TTS is more than a volunteer program, weaving together teams of Apprentices, Helping Hands (volunteers), Staff, and the greater community who participate to create webs of intergenerational support. The program is designed to promote authentic connection with Self, life mission, family and communities. Our Helping Hands (volunteers) experience a marked enhancement in their wellbeing and overall quality of life through involvement with our community.

Transformation through Service participants enhance their inner authority and abilities as change makers through Butterfly Leadership, a model that blends educational classes, service projects/action plans, team building and coaching for Shakti Rising Apprentices, Helping Hands, college and high school youth, professionals, and activists.

Butterfly Leadership
