What others have to say about the Soar with WINGS Leadership Certification Program
“The program visually looks amazing! I love the challenges that allow you to receive real life scenarios to practice what was learned in each lesson. The videos chosen were perfect and lined seamlessly with the course work. Since I am a visual learner the videos, photos, and graphics were key for me personally to retain the content. I am familiar with WINGS and SEL, so it was a fantastic refresher and dive deeper into my own behaviors and thought patterns, but I also think it is perfect for new beginners in the world of SEL. I don’t know how you all accomplished such a feat, but you did it!”
“People in my position often get lost in the weeds. As a Program Director, trying to stay positive and youthful while maintaining professionalism is challenging. I can relate to being lost in the weeds, and this program helped bring out the professionalism in my colleagues and within the group. Your program did a phenomenal job of reminding us that this is about our own skills—not just youth and youth development. We are here to develop ourselves, to be better people, to have a greater impact. So, kudos to you all for finding the blind spots and helping us remember why we do this.”

“I would like to personally thank you for the presentation at the Association of Professional Humane Educators virtual series. It was well organized, professional, and filled with useful information to assist our national and international humane educators in applying SEL to their programs. Taking the time to share your knowledge is truly what APHE is all about and that is how we move forward to create a kinder, more compassionate, and equitable world!”
“Over years in education, this was the most engaging, informative professional development I’ve ever been a part of and I don’t just mean social emotional learning PD, I mean all PD! So many tips that we can take and incorporate into our school and I’m so excited to get started.”
