Changing Perspectives promotes social-emotional learning to cultivate inclusive and equitable communities for all students. Our goal is to educate, empower, and inspire individuals to become the change makers for tomorrow who help build a more inclusive, just, and equitable society. Since 2015, Changing Perspectives has impacted the lives of more than 50,000 preK-grade 12 students and educators. Your contribution today will help ensure that thousands more students are equipped to weather the present and prepare for a brighter future.

Despite the significant disruptions of COVID-19, our mission remains unwavering. In our increasingly complex world, empathy, communication, perspective-taking, and problem-solving are the universal building blocks for understanding ourselves and others.
This year has presented immense challenges for schools across the country. Schools are having to reallocate funds to purchase PPE, hire additional janitorial staff, and improve ventilation systems. Simultaneously, students' social and emotional needs are higher than ever.
As the educational landscape has shifted, Changing Perspectives has pivoted to meet schools’ needs and ensure that our programming continues to be relevant, accessible, and impactful.
“During this time, we come to understand what brings us together more clearly than what divides us. Our educators need tools to support connection, safety, and belonging among our students.” ~Holly Wade, Director of Special Education Services, San Mateo Union High School District, California
