OVERVIEW OF NXU

nXu is a national non-profit initiative that delivers best-in-class resources, development, and support to educators so that all students in schools across the country can lead thriving lives, driven by purpose and connected to a community. Our research-based curriculum integrates 5 key developmental areas—purpose, identity, social-emotional wellness, social capital, & career exploration—into a single solution to support students in defining personal & professional pathways that align with their evolving sense of self.

Few schools are designed to intentionally foster youths’ sense of purpose, identity, social capital, and SEL skills needed to navigate our changing world. And few provide space for youth to deeply explore their purpose & identity and to engage in career exploration through these lenses. In response, nXu has developed a middle and high school curriculum—and an associated assessment system—that strategically integrates purpose, SEL, identity, and social capital development as well as career exploration.

To support effective implementation of its curriculum, nXu has established a curriculum implementation support model through which they partner with schools and youth-serving organizations across 20+ states. nXu’s long-term aspiration is to become the preeminent, high quality, purpose, SEL, and career development solution in the country.
