My Project

Our Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) After-School Club aims to provide a safe and supportive environment where students can enhance their social and emotional skills through engaging activities and interactions.

At our SEL After-School Club, we focus on promoting empathy, communication, cooperation, and self-awareness among students.

We believe that these skills are essential for their personal development, academic success, and overall well-being.

To support our SEL After-School Club activities, we are seeking board games, canvases, easels, paintbrushes, a Playstation 5 video game console, and video games. These resources will allow us to offer a variety of interactive and enjoyable experiences for our students, catering to different interests and preferences.

The board games and Bingo will encourage collaboration, problem-solving, and strategic thinking among students as they play together in small groups. Additionally, the video game console and video games will provide opportunities for social interaction, stress relief, and skill development in a virtual environment.

With your generous support, we will be able to create a dynamic and inclusive after-school program that fosters social and emotional learning in our students. By investing in their social and emotional well-being, we aim to empower them with the necessary skills to navigate challenges, build positive relationships, and thrive both inside and outside the classroom.

Thank you for your support in helping us create a positive impact in the lives of young people in our community.
