Social and emotional learning (SEL) -- the process of developing the self-awareness, self-control, and interpersonal skills that are vital for school, work, and life success – continues to gain stature in the educational arena. And nature-based programs provide unique opportunities to support positive youth outcomes, such as civic engagement and critical thinking. Join us as we explore the intersection of SEL and nature-based programming through case studies, hands-on engagement, and discussion. Gain strategies for implementing approaches to SEL at both the organizational and field level at your program site.
