Project Overview

Are you a talented, successful well-connected corporate sponsorship and salesperson or exec who can volunteer a few hours or one day a week for a project that helps millions of kids get a better education?

We seek someone with established contacts to develop allies for our cause. Among our sponsorship opportunities are:
*Sponsorships from consumer, financial, and tech businesses.
* For events we co-sponsor with the National Football League Alumni Association and others.
*Other options you might suggest within your awareness base.

The EQuip Our Kids! Campaign (https://equipourkids.org) is a nonprofit advertising and marketing education campaign whose sole and huge vision is to galvanize the American public to include in every school's basic daily curriculum emotional intelligence education for students and staff, including emotional management and relationships and co-creativity social skills – to the demonstrated and evidence-based profound benefit of children, teens, adults, the schools, communities, and business (the economy) as a whole.

In education circles, this curriculum is best known as Social and Emotional Learning (SEL). We are an independent nonprofit in effective pro bono service to the SEL movement that was founded and led by educators and child-development experts.

Our belief is you will be helping the most important education reform and social movement of our time because of its potential to transform on a mass level human mindsets and behaviors that create so much pain, suffering, and conflict in the world, individually and collectively. Lingering COVID mental and emotional health stresses have made this learning even more imperative in online teaching and classrooms, as masses of children are experiencing emotional and mental health issues that SEL can help relieve.

Children equipped with the range of EQ and other skills fare much better – they are more resilient and better able to adapt to change, better able to manage their feelings and actions, more able to cooperate and collaborate, to understand and be empathetic to others around them. Schools with comprehensive SEL see a sustained improvement in grades, attendance, student happiness, and emotional well-being in and out of school. These schools also see sustained decreases in violence, bullying, students experiencing depression and anxiety, suicides, dropout rates, and drug/alcohol use. So does society as these students grow into adulthood.

We have a strong management team of successful media and management professionals and have assembled compelling media materials, including videos, PSAs, and decks, and will create others for this assignment. We have been effective to date in our mission to raise parent and public awareness, and we bring out talents to bear with this project. We respect your time commitment and don't press for more than you can comfortably deliver. We are supportive, collaborate with, and grateful for our volunteers - and we show it. You will be working with caring, talented people. Once you have completed your time-frame assignment, we have the experience and resources to follow up.
