Builds morale, resilience and teamwork in Navy youth centers in a family-friendly format; student songs make care packages, and the recording day drives positive youth engagement on the installation.

We support resilience and readiness, morale, youth and family engagement, and teamwork with the SEL books, keynotes, and the music recording program.

FAQs

Straight answers.

  • Child and Youth Programs — youth centers, school age care, and teen programs. Coordinators searching for SEL curriculum youth center options generally need something staff-led rather than instructor-dependent, which is how the material is written.

  • Request a quote and confirm your cardholder's internal cutoff. The federal fiscal year closes September 30, but installation cutoffs are typically earlier in the month. Because the order sits far below the $15,000 micro-purchase threshold, no competitive solicitation is required if the price is reasonable and documented.

  • Quote with UEI and CAGE, W-9, and invoice. Everything a cardholder needs for the purchase file.

  • Yes. A GPC purchase is the preferred method for micro purchases under the FAR, and we accept it. We also accept purchase orders if your process requires one.

  • Extended parental absence is the recurring theme in Navy youth programming, and it is different from a single deployment cycle — it repeats. The material addresses expression and regulation rather than treating separation as a discrete event.

  • Yes, on site or virtually. Recording programming works well in Navy CYP teen settings, and because we have staff around the country, on-site delivery reaches most installations without long-distance travel in the quote. Programming is quoted separately from materials. If you are obligating year end funds, tell us your cutoff date and we will confirm what can be scheduled and invoiced inside it.

  • No. We send our own staff to run the programming. We do not train your staff to run it. Recording and production is a skill set, not a procedure. Trying to hand it off in a few hours would be like teaching a doctor to perform surgery in an afternoon — you would get a session that technically happened and a result nobody wants to hear. Quote it as a service, not as staff development. CYP staff support the session; we run it.

  • No. We are supplemental. We do not replace your SEL curriculum, your trauma-informed practice, or any program you already have in place. If you run a core SEL program, keep it — ours adds a music-based component alongside it. If you have trauma-informed protocols, training, and referral pathways, those stay in force exactly as they are. Nothing in our material substitutes for them, and our facilitators are not a substitute for your clinical, counseling, or behavioral staff. Your CYP structure and referral pathways stay in place. This is added programming.

  • Yes. The Psychological Effects of Music interactive Assembly is built for exactly this — a family engagement event where parents and children participate together rather than sitting through a presentation. That is the difference that matters for attendance. Families come to an event where something happens; they skip an information night. The session is music-driven and participatory, so a parent who speaks little English and a fourth grader are in it on the same terms. CYP family events and Fleet and Family programming both fit. For families managing repeated sea-duty separation, an event they do together rather than hear about is the point.

  • Yes. The Psychological Effects of Music interactive Assembly works for CYP staff development, Fleet and Family events, and youth programming. Quoted as a service, not as a supply.

  • Tell us your quantity and deadline when you request the quote and we will confirm availability and ship timing before you obligate funds.
