Ep. 47: Character Social Emotional Learning - Scarlett Lewis

23 minutes

Scarlett Lewis, Founder Choose Love Movement

What if, even in the face of unimaginable tragedy, love could be the most powerful force for change? Today, we sit down with Scarlett Lewis, founder of the Choose Love Movement, to explore how we can choose love over fear, and create a more compassionate world.

Scarlett's journey began with unimaginable loss. After the tragic Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, where she lost her six-year-old son, Jesse, Scarlett turned her grief into action. Inspired by Jesse's final act of heroism, she created the Choose Love Movement.

This global non-profit is dedicated to creating free Character Social Emotional Development (CSED) programs. Choose Love programming is being taught in over 10,000 schools, in all 50 states and over 120 countries, serving over 3 million children globally.
