ZAG Lab
ZAG Project is committed to education both inside the school environment and in corporate settings. Our ZAG Lab School Curriculum is a Social Emotional Learning (SEL) focused curriculum that equips students with the tools foster social connection in their school, and build self-confidence, self-awareness, and compassion. Research shows that Social Emotional Learning (SEL) programs have as great a long-term impact on academic growth as programs designed specifically to support academic learning (Mahoney, Durlak, and Weissberg, 2018). Our ZAG Lab Corporate Offerings are able to be customized for your organization's needs.
HOW WE DO THIS:
-
Students engage in neighborhood projects that brighten someone’s day, such as May Day celebrations and writing handwritten cards to seniors. The curriculum emphasizes social connection and belonging for everyone, no exceptions.
We believe joy is powerful.
Everyone deserves to feel seen.
Relationships make communities stronger.
Small acts create lasting ripple effects.
