More Information
Committee for Children
Committee for Children is a nonprofit on a mission to ensure children everywhere can thrive emotionally, socially, and academically.
Second Step® Programs
The Second Step family of programs equips students with social-emotional skills—like nurturing positive relationships, managing emotions, and setting goals—so they can thrive in school and life. Request a consultation to learn how our programs can help your district meet its SEL goals.
Social-Emotional Learning
Decades of research show the positive effects of classroom-based SEL for children, and there’s broad recognition that benefits are even greater when children experience SEL throughout their day. Read our white paper to learn how a holistic, comprehensive approach to SEL can strengthen children’s social-emotional skills, improve school culture, and support inclusive, equitable learning.
