Empowering youth to choose kindness.

Job Description

We partner with schools and youth-serving organizations, providing research-based social and emotional learning (SEL) programs to promote empowerment and emotional well-being in elementary and middle school youth (K-8). Our vision is that every student can access the SEL needed to develop their whole selves and promote emotional well-being. To that end, our Every Child Scholarship initiative supports our student-driven program at sites serving under-resourced youth. Since our founding in 2013, we have engaged over 12,000 youth in 800+ classrooms and out-of-school time (OST) environments.
