What is Black SEL?
Black SEL is a customized approach to social and emotional learning (SEL) that serves as a primary vehicle for cultural transmission, specifically tailored to the experiences, needs, and cultural contexts of Black students and communities.
Why Black SEL Matters?
Culturally relevant, research-based SEL resources matter, especially for black youth. Black SEL was launched to intervene in these systems to disrupt the school-to-prison pipeline by providing needed skills and resources for school communities.

Summer Institute 2024
June 17-21, 2024
The Black SEL Hub Summer Institute is an initiative crafted to delve into the lived experiences of Black students concerning social-emotional development. Over five days, this institute will explore our Black SEL curriculum, providing students with training in social justice skills, racial equity, African-American leadership, workforce development, character development, understanding the political landscape, and exploring a child’s media diet, all while integrating the five competencies of SEL.
TICKETS NOW AVAILABLE
The Black SEL Summit is a two-day event that brings together educators and SEL practitioners from around the country.
At the summit, we share best practices, innovative approaches for classrooms, and culturally responsive resources to sustain SEL as a tool in Black communities.
The Black SEL Summit is crafted to stand as the premier gathering for Black SEL Providers, Educators, Community Leaders, and Professionals. We firmly believe that equipping every Black individual with the skills to navigate life through the lens of SEL is essential.
Black SEL is about acknowledging the ways that SEL competencies have been present in black communities long before the designation or study of social-emotional learning.
It's not just a donation. It's an investment in a people's future.
