Our Story

Zymbolic was founded in Oakland by two first-generation educators who saw firsthand how Social Emotional Learning could transform classrooms and communities. What started as a single Restorative Justice program in a military school has grown into a partnership with schools and organizations across the Bay Area.

Today, we work with educators, students, and families to build the skills that matter most — self-awareness, empathy, and the courage to show up for one another.
