Started in 1993, CBK Associates works at the intersections of social and emotional learning, youth-adult partnerships, leadership, and service learning for change. We put equity, justice and inclusion at the center of our work. We bring schools into community and vice versa.
We prize collaboration and seek out partners near at hand and across the globe. We facilitate conversations about the nitty gritty of what is required to begin and sustain a new program to theories about organizational development. We build relationships that last.
We believe that we learn best when we are engaged, adults and students alike. Whether presenting a keynote address to a room filled with educators or a half-day workshop with 100 middle-schoolers, our approach is the same: Looking for innovative ideas and strategies, then customizing them to the needs of our partners.
With 75 years of combined experience, from Singapore to North Carolina, we have built and learned a lot.
