Captains & Poets Information

Captains & Poets is a ground-breaking K-12 SEL program that bridges Well-Being and Inclusion & Belonging programming to ignite a sense of self-awareness, connection and agency in the world. The premise of the program is that there is a unique Captain and Poet in each of us that, in partnership, enable us to be our best, most authentic selves. When young people (and adults!) learn about their inner Captain and Poet they have immediate access to their emotions, unique gifts and perspectives, and the complexities of what makes them human. When young people see the value of being their authentic selves, they are better able to embrace others in the same spirit. They become effective self-leaders as they learn how to draw on their innate strengths to contribute to the world around them in more positive ways.
