On January 2, 2017, the Susan Crown Exchange (SCE) launched the Digital Learning Challenge, a new initiative focused on gaining and sharing knowledge about how digital tools and practices can promote the development of skills for the workforce and positive community participation in youth.

An innovative guide called "Preparing Youth to Thrive: Promising Practices in Social & Emotional Learning" has been launched in an effort to help afterschool programs across the country bring social and emotional skill development to the youth they serve.
