Tanuka Gordon

Tanuka is the Founder and Executive Director of Mindful Littles, a nonprofit dedicated to cultivating compassionate and resilient students and communities by combining the power of service learning with mindfulness and social-emotional learning. Tanuka spent her career working in product management and user experience for technology companies. Her 2 young daughters (now 8 and 5) inspired her to begin her life's purpose with the 2016 founding of Mindful Littles. Since its inception, Mindful Littles has led over 100 mindful service learning programs to reach vulnerable populations, reached over 4500 students with its classroom lessons including a major healing initiative in Paradise, CA and continues to provide programs in schools and communities throughout the Bay Area. Tanuka has led the organization's vision, strategy and growth and loves connecting deeply with youth. When she's not working on her passion project gone wild, she loves being with her family, hiking outdoors and a great KidzBop dance party.
