Rye Youth Council strengthens families by educating parents and caregivers on issues affecting today's youth, and providing strategies to enhance connections with young people. Our programs address ways to identify and resolve common parenting challenges, and our approach is always through a lens of social and emotional learning.
Rye Youth Council supports children, teachers and parents in teaching social and emotional life skills, in and out of the classroom. Our RYC Youth Educator teaches an in-class Social and Emotional Learning curriculum to every 3rd and 4th grader in the Rye City School District, and DBT-Step A to the District's 6th graders.

We are navigating a new normal, in which we grieve what we have lost while experiencing anxiety about what is coming.
Even so, this time can be a gift, if we can be open to receiving it
When we devote time to self-improvement, we are actually giving ourselves a gift. The point is not to be perfect, or to overachieve, or to exhaust oneself. These sorts of personal projects have two benefits. . .
Although disagreements are inevitable, resulting arguments might be preventable if we can handle the disagreement in a constructive way.
