Exploring the Predictive Power of Belonging for Flourishing
Description
Only 47% of adults ages 24-39 say they felt like they belonged at their public high school. When factoring in demographic variables, only 44% of adults who graduated from Christian schools felt like they belonged. How do we cultivate a sense of belonging at school where kids know they matter? In this session, we will share practical strategies for helping kids know that they matter to our communities.
