Committee for Children is a Seattle-based nonprofit working in the primary and secondary education sector. Founded in 1978, it develops and distributes research-based programs that build social-emotional and safety-related skills in children. The organization focuses on preventing bullying and sexual abuse and supports the holistic development of the whole child, aiming to promote well-being alongside academic growth. Its curricula reach schools in more than 70 countries, including about 30% of U.S. elementary schools, and benefit millions of children each year. The target customers are schools and districts seeking to improve student safety, emotional regulation, problem-solving, and academic outcomes through social-emotional learning. In March 2024 the organization announced the launch of Second Step High School, a new research-based program designed for high school students.
