ABOUT US

Founded in 2013, Pop Culture Hero Coalition is the first 501(c)(3) organization to use evidence-based psychology in combination with heroic characters and stories, teaching social emotional learning and bullying prevention in ways that children and teens find relatable. 

 

Our work:

  • Is rooted in Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL) principals.

  • Is based on key research.

  • Is created by pop-culture-fluent clinical psychologists and veteran educators.

  • Features the prevention and treatment of all forms of bullying, physical and psychological violence, inequity, and discrimination. 

  • Incorporates restorative practices as a core component.

 

In 2021, our Heroic Journey Curriculum for K - 8th grade is impacting approximately 200,000 children and their parents through our national Partnership with YMCA USA. 

 

Available for Schools • Online Events • Community Centers 

Children’s Hospitals • Homes During COVID
