Check out our latest, free SEL activity, Same Situation, Different Perspectives! Created for grades 3-5, this SEL activity introduces students to the topic of perspectives by using an optical illusion that has more than one answer. It can be difficult to hear or understand another person’s perspective, but by considering their feelings in comparison to those of the main character, students can take a deeper dive into exploring perspectives.

Student Advisory Board Tip of the Day: Do something (safe) that scares you! Step into your courage zone and be brave with your actions and words.

Student Advisory Board Tip of the Day: Be intentional about your communication! Actively listening and asking questions helps build connections and community.

ThinkGive’s Student Advisory Board (SAB) is a team of high school and college students from diverse backgrounds and fields of study who come together virtually to grow their leadership skills, bring youth perspectives to ThinkGive’s work, and take action to effect change in their communities. This past school year, the 12 members of the SAB worked with staff members to help with curriculum, marketing, and development. This week, we’ll share some inspirational quotes and tips that the SAB marketing group developed. Thank you, SAB, for all of your hard work! https://buff.ly/3xwqD92
