Be Brave. Be Kind. Be You.

Brave Hearts University: How to Human

Small-group, in-person workshops conveniently held after school on campus for 3rd through 5th graders. These are offered as a 10-week series, three times during the school year, with each series building upon the last.

These workshops have been created around the Collaborative of Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL) framework and include lessons related to each of the five competencies – all in a super fun way that builds resiliency, confidence, and community.

The CASEL Wheel is a social-emotional learning framework with five broad cognitive and behavioral competencies. These life skills are vital to our kids developing healthy identities and thriving as they move from childhood into adolescence and onto adulthood.

Some of the skills we’ll dive into are:

Self-Awareness: Personal and social identities, growth mindset, identifying strengths, interests, values.

Self-Management: Managing emotions and stress, setting and working toward goals, resilience, trying new things.

Social Awareness: Taking another’s perspective, empathy, diversity, kindness, advocating for oneself.

Relationship Skills: Communication, friendship, overcoming peer pressure, making friends, conflict resolution.

Responsible Decision-Making: Identifying problems and solutions, anticipating consequences, thoughtfulness, considering one’s actions, critical thinking.


Each weekly workshop will focus on a single topic and will incorporate a combination of games, activities, reflection, journaling, crafts, projects, sharing, and discussion to learn and practice the fine art of being a good human.
