About Venture Society
Venture Society is an all-ages, non-violent roleplaying game focusing on building skills related to personal strengths, emotional wellness, social awareness, and communication while having a fun experience. Parents and professionals (therapists, teachers, etc.) can use Venture Society as a fun activity that will also build the child's Social Emotional Learning skills.
In this world of animals, the regions used to be at war with each other. Thankfully brave animals from each region united for peace and formed the Venture Society. The Venture Society is a world wide organization dedicated to helping others and encouraging harmony with your fellow animals, and you're invited to join.
Since the in-game principles of The Venture Society are pulled from Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) skill areas, players are rewarded for using these skills during adventures. The four areas focused on are communication, emotional wellness, social awareness, and personal strengths.
Communication: Examples include following directions & finding solutions
Emotional Wellness: Examples include self-control & calm down strategies
Social Awareness: Examples include listening, empathy, & peer pressure
Personal Strengths: Examples include setting goals & recognizing consequences
Running Venture Society for Children
