Children Flourish with Safety and Support

Our Programs

Committee for Children develops programs rooted in social-emotional learning (SEL) that help transform schools into supportive and successful learning environments. Programs like Second Step, an SEL-centric solution that provides parents, educators, and the community with tools to guide the social-emotional growth and safety of today’s youth. Together, our programs help us achieve our mission to foster the safety and well-being of children through social-emotional learning and development.

Thousands of schools around the world and more than 15 million children benefit from Second Step each year.

Not Just Better Students, Better People

With Second Step, educators give Early Learning–Grade 8 students the tools they need to excel in the classroom and beyond. Second Step offers a combination of Second Step SEL, the Bullying Prevention Unit, and the Child Protection Unit. Together these help improve behavior, build a positive school environment, and address safety—all while creating lasting results for children and communities.
