PR Support: Local & National Press Coverage
EQuip Our Kids! is seeking Public Relations volunteers or those willing to learn as you go. You might be a generalist or have knowledge of specific audiences just in the course of being you - such as parents, the youth market, the business world, or other sectors of American life. We are also open to PR volunteers who have across-the-board skills and experience or want to acquire them.
The EQuip Our Kids! campaign is an advocacy PR, advertising, and marketing campaign whose goal is to galvanize the American public to include in every school's daily curriculum education for students and staff in emotional management and in relationship and co-creativity social skills – to the demonstrated and evidence-based profound benefit of children, teens, adults, the schools themselves, and society and business (the economy) as a whole. In education circles, this is best known as Social and Emotional Learning.
Public awareness and buy-in are essential to the advancement of social-emotional learning in all US schools and its truly historic and remarkable benefits. Your help spreading awareness and generating support will positively affect the lives of millions of children and their mental and emotional well-being, as well as elevate their schools and communities into more caring and effective realities. See our website https://equipourkids.org to experience the remarkable upsides of this learning.
We believe that social-emotional learning is the most important school reform and social movement of our time and deserves but lacks a level of public, institutional, and financial support greater than that given to STEM education. We value it for its inherent ability to transform human mindsets and behaviors for the better and, if made comprehensive in all schools, uplift human society and the quality of relationships at every level like nothing else in the human toolbox. It is a big deal because it demonstrates that most human dysfunction, pain, conflict, and insanity derive from a lack of SEL skills and not from a lack of character. Our mission is to be sure all pre-K to 12 kids develop this healthy mindset and learn these skills.
We have assembled a small team of PR pros to work with. Management is highly experienced in media and marketing. Our PR and marketing materials are solid and proven and are creatively updated regularly. Fresh press releases go out to thousands of education journalists regularly but we need more volunteers. We create a rewarding and supportive atmosphere for all our volunteers.
