Education Leaders! 

Youth Communication understands the importance of social and emotional learning that’s culturally responsive and authentic—ensuring that students cultivate healthy relationships and recognize their strengths. By pairing teen-written stories with thoughtfully-designed sessions and responsive professional development, we’re improving outcomes for students in measurable ways.  

We go beyond representation to amplification, by publishing teens’ stories and using them as real-life models for their peers. It’s hard to quantify the value students get from being truly seen, but the impact is clear; in a study of 1,200 teens, 83% of youth report they felt safe and listened to in their YC groups. In light of COVID-19, the impact of remaining connected to their peers and educators is even more important. 

In support of our partners and to elevate our ongoing innovations moving into next year, we are providing FREE information sessions for all our communities, see below for more information.  

Are you an educator or administrator interested in amplifying youth stories? 

Are you interested in bringing more culturally responsive education to your school? 

Are you interested in integrating social emotional learning into your school’s culture?
