The mission of SEL4NJ is to continuously build a network of organizations and individuals in New Jersey that are committed to the importance of developing students’ social and emotional competencies, and through this collaboration, promote a systematic and intentional integration of SEL, as broadly defined, in schools and other organizations, including before and after school programming.
The vision of SEL4NJ is that all students in New Jersey have access to schools that provide a culture and climate that is respectful, caring, challenging, engaging, inspiring, safe and healthy.
