Social emotional learning (SEL)

---

All Rye Youth Council programs address the five broad, interrelated areas of social emotional learning competence, which are: 

• self-awareness 
• self-management,
• social awareness 
• relationship skills
•  responsible decision-making

SEL is the process through which all young people and adults acquire and apply the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to develop healthy identities, manage emotions and achieve personal and collective goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain supportive relationships, and make responsible and caring decisions. 

Social EMotional Learning (SEL) can help all young people and adults thrive personally and academically, develop and maintain positive relationships, become lifelong learners, and contribute to a more caring, just world.
