What Is SEL Day?

SEL Day is a global, grassroots campaign for social-emotional learning to support children’s academic recovery, mental health, and well-being. Since its inception in 2020, #SELday has reached over 40 million views. 

In 2025, over 5,000 SEL champions representing all 50 U.S. states and 73 countries made 6,000 commitments to showcase, promote, advocate, and support SEL. Advocacy efforts have resulted in SEL Day proclamations in ten states, a letter of support from the White House, and a bipartisan resolution for SEL Week introduced in the Senate.
