The Empathy Project envisions a world in which every child is healed, transformed, and inspired through education. To create this change, the Empathy Project provides tools for living an examined, meaningful life; sponsors educational programs, and builds schools for underpriviledge children.
A charitable organization, our mission is to build caring, peaceful, and civil societies through the development of empathy in children and adults. Our vision is to change the world – child by child.
Roots of Empathy is considered a model of social innovation. We have two programs: a flagship program of the same name for children in elementary school (Roots of Empathy) and its "younger sibling," a program for children ages three-to-five in early childhood settings Seeds of Empathy.
