nXu

A non-profit organization with a commitment to serving BIPOC & historically marginalized youth, nXu (short for nexus) offers a CASEL-approved Comprehensive SEL and College & Career Readiness Solution that helps young people connect with who they are, explore who they want to become, and invest in pathways for personal and professional success. nXu's dynamic, research-based middle and high school curriculum places purpose development at the nexus of career exploration, social-emotional practices, positive identity development, and community building. Since inception, nXu has focused on ensuring measurable outcomes with students. In a recent IRB study that led to the CASEL approval, students experienced 3x growth in sense of purpose and 2x growth in SEL skills after experiencing nXu’s curriculum relative to a comparison group. 

nXu has established a comprehensive partnership model with schools and youth organizations nationwide, including in Colorado. With a CASEL-approved middle and high school curriculum–including 350+ 25 minute lessons, 175+ 50-60 minute lessons, and 5-10 minute experiences that can be integrated into core lessons–as well as a validated assessment system, expert implementation support, and best-in-class educator training & development, nXu supports educators to integrate their curriculum into the fabric of their schools. Our partners–who are regionally, operationally & pedagogically diverse–are in 20+states and the District of Columbia.
