Wired to Learn: Social and Emotional Development in Adolescence

In adolescence, the brain is particularly well-suited to acquire social and emotional competencies that are vital for youth to navigate the world, and yet we often see a fall-off in participation in youth development programs during this time. Join Afterschool Alliance for a lively discussion featuring presenters from the Afterschool Alliance, American Institutes for Research, and Providence After School Alliance focused on expanding opportunities for SEL in middle school settings. Attendees will learn more about how afterschool programs can support youth social, emotional, and character development, and will leave with some practical tools and strategies to implement.
