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.
We rely on the generosity of corporate and private sponsors to help us achieve our goals. We are grateful for each sponsor’s passion for our mission and desire to support those in need.
It's not just a donation. It's an investment in a people's future.
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.
Real impact,
one stat at a time.
