Good Character & Citizenship

Social Emotional Learning

SEL is an incredible opportunity for members to discover the power of understanding and managing their emotions and behaviors effectively while fostering strong connections with others. Through this journey, our youth will grow in awareness of their abilities, demonstrate self-control, recognize social cues, resolve conflicts, and make positive choices in their daily lives. By investing in these skills, we aim to cultivate positive attitudes and behaviors that equip our youth with the resilience they need to flourish in school and beyond. As a result, our youth can enjoy more meaningful relationships, better cope with daily challenges, and excel in all aspects of their personal, professional, and academic lives.
