Interview Making An Impact

After winning the Startup Monterey Bay Challenge, we were contacted by the amazing organization InsideSEL.

InsideSEL is on a mission to share all about the positive progress happening within education around Social Emotional Learning, and New Wave Programs’ efforts caught their attention. They really wanted to learn more about our SEL programs, how they began, and where it's all heading. 

In late October, founder of InsideSEL Nick Woolf reached out to New Wave Programs founder Michael Handley for an interview to learn more. Once published, the article spread quickly on various social media outlets.

The exposure has been presenting us with ongoing emails and exciting phone calls from all over the world, and it really helped us surpass our 2019 goal of reaching 1,000 students.

All in all, through November and December we knew the interview was getting hits, but we didn’t know to what extent...

To our surprise, just about to turn the new year, InsideSEL released their Best 10 Articles of 2019, with New Wave Programs’ interview as #3!
