Evolutionforward

About Us: evolutionforward is an education network (nonprofit) dedicated to promoting, protecting, and advancing the health and wellbeing of children and their families directly (e.g. programs) and indirectly (e.g. research). Our interdisciplinary group was formed for the purpose of improving child-caretaker wellbeing and educational equity in the United States (U.S.) and outlying territories. Activities and programs are designed to support children and families who are at predictable risk for deleterious outcomes and to mobilize intergenerational, multicultural family and community resilience. Focus Areas: Network leaders collaborate to develop, guide, and/or participate in small-scale, high-impact projects based on scientific evidence that promote healthy child development (e.g., education, neuroscience), parent wellbeing (e.g., public health, social determinants), and the establishment of non-violence as the norm in the U. S. (e.g. healing, culture).

Creating and Distributing Educational Materials & Leadership Promotion: evolutionforward continued its commitment to open access education by creating and distributing a range of resources for parents, professionals, and young people. Leveraging digital platforms, including social media, email, and our website, we shared vital insights on topics such as intergenerational wellbeing and non-violence. A key element of this program involved promoting our network leaders and partners who offer various educational opportunities.

Dance & Learn Community Events: Building on our past pilot programs, evolutionforward expanded its interactive “Dance & Learn” initiative to include community events in key urban centers such as The Bronx, NYC and in rural areas alike. These classes welcomed people with a wide range of abilities and utilized movement and creative expression as accessible tools for exploring themes of non-violence and positive social interaction.

Evolutionforward is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit (EIN 93-2110833) based in Bronx, NY.
