Our Partners

A Creative Pause considers its partners an essential part of our organization and our mission. We believe in the African proverb

“If you want to go fast, go alone, if you want to go far, go together”

  • NGOs

    A Creative Pause partners with NGOs and nonprofits who work with underserved populations to enable SEL or emotional wellness into their programs.

    We work with schools and foundations to enable full SEL programs in their classrooms. The programs include curriculum, lesson plans, teacher and counselor training, implementation support, and assessments

  • Supporters

    We are grateful to our supporters who enable us to implement our programs.

  • Teach For India is a part of the Teach For All Network, a growing group of independent organisations working on expanding educational opportunities in their nations. The 60 countries in the network today share a common vision of an excellent education for all children. Today, TFI is a movement of 900 Fellows teaching 33,000 children and 4,500+ alumni. A Creative Pause partners with TFI to offer their fellows SEL training, curriculum, support, and assessments so that they may add SEL into their interventions in the classrooms that they serve. In 2023 we trained 15 fellows from Hyderabad, Kolkata, Chennai.

  • Bhumi believes that every underprivileged child deserves quality education. Bhumi has transformed this conviction into a volunteering opportunity for India’s youth, launching a snowball effect of nurturing talent on the path to an educated, poverty-free India. Bhumi has a focused SEL program called Head & Heart. A Creative Paus hs partnered with Bhumi to augment their progam with curriculum, train-the-trainer, and assessments. We dd a pilot in 2023 with over 20 Bhumi trainers and fellows. We are now formalizing and scaling the program.

  • Saksham is a charitable organization committed to providing education to the underprivileged children. It currently runs an English medium school accredited with the National Institute of open schooling (NIOS). The school provides free education to the children and currently has classes from Pre-K- Grade 12. Most of the students are children of daily laborers working in construction or other low wage service jobs. A Creative Pause trained 2 volunteer teachers in 2023, and the SEL rollout started in grades 7 and 10. In 2024 we are strengthening our partnership.

  • Goodearth Foundation, established by the Eicher Group provides holistic education for both boys and girls, by setting up institutions of excellence in teaching and learning. Towards achieving this, objective requisite infrastructure with modern and state of the art facilities are provided. The foundation runs 4 schools today.
