Dear Little Monsters, You have welcomed Born This Way Foundation into your community with open arms, and we're so grateful. Thank you so much for your support, energy and passion and we hope we're doing you and Lady Gaga proud with our work. Speaking of our work, I'm so excited to share an announcement that will be coming out later this morning with the Little Monsters community first (and if you're on our email list, you'll get this in your inbox too and if you're not, check out www.bornthisway.foundation and sign up!). We’re so excited to announce that Born This Way Foundation will be partnering with the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence to launch the [Emotion Revolution survey](bornthisway.foundation/...). This unprecedented online survey of high-school age youth nation-wide will explore how young people feel, how they want to feel, and how to bridge the gap between the two. This data will strengthen the scientific understanding of how to most effectively build positive school climates and how to empower young people with the tools they need to lead happy, healthy, and productive lives. The results of this survey will be presented at the Emotion Revolution Summit in October. Hosted at Yale University, the Summit will feature hundreds of youth participants from around the country as well as our very own Co-Founders Cynthia Germanotta and Lady Gaga, with special guests including Yale President Peter Salovey and Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence Director Marc Brackett. The summit will serve as a platform to unveil the findings of the study as well as offer young people the opportunity to share their stories and their ideas for creating improved learning environments with key educators, academics, and policy makers. We want to hear from as many young people as possible and we need your help to spread the word. Please visit www.emotionrevolution.org to take the survey and then help us spread the word by sharing the link with your friends, on your social media accounts, with your colleagues, your favorite non-profit and the amazing young people in your life. We want to make sure Little Monsters voices are heard loud and clear in this survey and I hope to meet many of you in Connecticut in October, so check out the website, take the survey and help us spread the word. With Gratitude, Maya + The BTWF Team
