Introduction
“The 7 Pillars of Connection program is a transformative curriculum designed to help young people develop the life skills they need to thrive. Rooted in social-emotional learning (SEL), it supports students and youth participants in building self-awareness, strengthening relationships, and contributing positively to their communities.
The Framework: Self → Others → Community
The program follows a natural arc of development:
