Three million people across more than 120 countries have already decided to Choose Love.<\/h2>\n

Jesse Lewis Choose Love Movement\u2122 is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with a mission to create safer and more loving communities through no cost Character Social Emotional Development programs (CSED) that are suited for all stages of life. We offer programs tailored for any age from toddlers through adulthood. At the core of it all is a simple formula (COURAGE + GRATITUDE + FORGIVENESS + COMPASSION-IN-ACTION = Choosing Love) that anyone can learn and practice to nourish and strengthen the body, mind, and emotions to cultivate happy, healthy, meaningful lives and to thoughtfully respond to all we meet and improve the world around us.<\/p>\n

Nurturing. Healing. Love.<\/h2>\n

Jesse Lewis Choose Love Movement\u2122 began as a no cost program for schools but has organically expanded into programs for home, for work, and for community. We\u2019re seeing sports teams use Choose Love programs to teach leadership. We\u2019re seeing prisons use it for restoration. Even military families are using it to ease anxiety and strengthen relationships.<\/p>\n

Since 2013, we have been on a mission to create safer schools and a safer world by teaching people how to use nurturing, healing love in any circumstance. Practicing social and emotional learning skills improves culture and cultivates an environment that is welcoming, supportive, compassionate, and safe.<\/p>\n
