FAQs
We answer questions for a living, and would love to hear yours—but do us a favour. Before reaching out to us with a question, check to see if we’ve already answered it below.
These FAQs provide a comprehensive overview of Empathy For Youth Academy’s offerings, helping potential participants and partners understand what we do and how they can get involved.
Empathy For Youth Academy is an online-based educational platform dedicated to fostering emotional intelligence, resilience, and social responsibility through Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) programs for individuals of all ages.
We offer a combination of online courses and in-person programs to reach diverse audiences.
At its simplest essence, Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) is the process of learning to understand ourselves and recognise and manage emotions, set positive goals, show empathy for others, build healthy relationships, and make responsible decisions. Read more here.
No, currently EFY Academy does not have a dedicated physical space. Instead, we operate fully online and deliver in-person programs at various events and on-site locations, such as schools, universities, workplaces, and community centers.
Our team travels to provide tailored SEL programs that meet the specific needs of each group.
We offer a wide range of programs online and at client locations, including SEL workshops, training sessions, team-building activities, and long-term courses. These programmes are customised to address the unique goals and challenges of each client.
Apart from courses, we also offer consultation, coaching, and counselling services.
Check our Services page for more information.
Although the emphasis for us is on the youth demographic, our courses are designed to suit individuals of all ages, including students, educators, parents, and anyone interested in developing their social and emotional skills.
Yes, we offer both online (Zoom, Google Meet) and in-person courses to accommodate different learning preferences and geographical locations.
You can enroll through our website as an individual or representative by selecting the desired course or workshop and following the registration instructions using our Needs Form in the Services page.
Most of our courses do not have prerequisites and are open to all individuals interested in SEL. Specific requirements, if any, will be listed in the course description.
Course durations vary, with some lasting a few weeks and others spanning several months. Each course description will provide detailed information on the duration.
A sliding scale fee structure adjusts the cost of our programs based on the financial capacity of each participant.
This is our explicit effort as a social enterprise towards inclusion and ensures that everyone, regardless of their financial situation, has access to our SEL programs.
Generally participants with higher financial capacity may pay closer to the full cost, while those with limited resources pay a reduced fee.
At EFY, our sliding scale fee is applicable specifically for individuals. These tiers are used as a guideline:
At our current startup stage, we are not yet able to offer sliding scale fees for universities and workplaces.
Kindly speak to us if none of these apply to your current financial situation. We have never denied anyone to participate in our learning sessions due to lack of funds.
When registering for a program, indicate your interest in sliding scale fees or financial aid. Our team will guide you through the application process to ensure you receive the appropriate support.
Yes. While we offer sliding scale fees to ensure inclusivity and access for individuals and community groups, we charge market rates for universities, workplaces, and corporate training programs. These rates reflect the value and impact of our specialised SEL services in professional and academic settings.
Charging market rates for these services allows us to sustain our operations and subsidise the costs for individuals and communities who benefit from our sliding scale fees. This approach helps us balance financial viability with our commitment to inclusivity and access.
Yes, we offer bursary for those who need additional assistance. Please inquire about this option during the registration process.
EFY Bursary Fund: No fee applies for people gifted with this fund. Depending on availability.
Participants can expect to develop better self-awareness, emotional regulation, empathy, relationship skills, and decision-making abilities. These skills contribute to personal growth, improved relationships, and overall well-being.
We use data-driven approaches, including surveys and feedback from participants, to continually assess and improve the effectiveness of our programs.
Survey and data ensure SEL programs are effective, responsive, and continually evolving to better serve students and communities. You may read more on our Survey and Data section.
Yes, we currently offer a range of free resources, including articles, podcasts, and videos designed to support the youth, parents and educators in implementing SEL practices in real life situations. We aspire to add more resources freely on this website as we grow.
Absolutely! We offer personalised coaching and consultation services to help individuals and organisations effectively integrate SEL into their daily practices.
We welcome partnerships with almost anyone! Check out our Collaboration section on the website. Then, chat with us to explore the potentials!
Yes, we have an affiliate program that allows partners to earn commissions by promoting our SEL programs. For more details, visit the Affiliate Marketing section on our website.
At this point, you can follow us on social media, and check our website regularly for updates on new courses, events, and resources. The best is also to have a chat with us either online or over coffee, face to face.
