Frameworks of Tampa Bay is the leading nonprofit that equips all children in our community with the knowledge and know-how to become kind, collaborative, and capable citizens.
With the complex challenges kids face today, we provide positive and personalized learning experiences that develop their emotional intelligence: the critical skills necessary to navigate any emotion, conversation, or situation, no matter how difficult.
To equip every child in Tampa Bay with the knowledge and know-how to become kind, collaborative, and capable citizens.
Everyone succeeds personally, academically, and professionally because emotional intelligence is practiced everywhere we live and learn.
From preschool to high school, our customized coaching, workshops, and strategies are proven to help kids do better in school, graduate on time, excel in the workplace, and experience a stronger sense of belonging and mental well-being.
We train teachers, families, and youth organizations to model emotional intelligence to kids of all ages and confidently teach it to every child in their care.
We prepare teens to be the leaders our community needs through real-world experiences that promote resilience, career readiness, and the importance of giving back.
We use data to show the positive impact emotional intelligence has on children’s personal and academic achievement to ensure it becomes a priority everywhere, every day.
We put children first.
We put children and their futures at the center of every decision we make and action we take, doing everything in our power to help them succeed personally, academically, and, one day, professionally.
We lead with optimism.
Although raising and teaching kids today is more complex than ever, we believe the future is bright. In the face of adversity, we see great possibility in every child and their impact on our world.
We are stronger together.
Just as it takes a village to raise a child, it takes all of us working together to prepare our children for life’s challenges and triumphs. We believe collaboration has no limits and seek to partner with every adult who cares for a child to develop kind, collaborative, and capable kids.
We model what we teach.
We approach every situation with empathy and understanding, seeking to listen actively, learn continuously, and act responsibly in pursuit of our shared mission.
We challenge conventional thinking.
Because emotional intelligence is the difference that makes all the difference, we urge everyone, from parents and principals to policymakers, to think differently about student success. We work proactively and creatively to advance strategies that bring emotional development into every home, school, and community.
