The Hawn Foundation seeks to transform children's lives by providing them with opportunities to acquire vital social and emotional skills, improve academic performance, enhance the quality of their lives, and help others in their community. We support research studies conducted by university associated social scientists and neuroscientists and develop evidence-based educational programs for children, such as MindUP™, using cutting-edge scientific research on the brain and social emotional learning. We also assist educators to create supportive learning environments that effectively address children’s mental and emotional wellbeing while nurturing the growth of creative and reflective habits of mind. The Hawn Foundation is committed to helping children lead confident, happy, and successful lives.
