Preparing youth to thrive in a rapidly changing world.
About us
The Susan Crown Exchange (SCE) works to prepare youth to thrive in a rapidly changing, highly connected world. SCE primarily supports organizations that operate in out-of-school time, prioritizing initiatives that promote social and emotional learning (SEL), explore the relationships between technology and society, and build critical skills through youth sports. What unites all of SCE’s partners is their commitment to creating opportunities for young people. We seek to broaden the definition of success to include mastery of skills like problem solving, complex systems thinking, and digital literacy, which extend beyond the acquisition of knowledge –to learning how to learn.
