What Society for All, z.s. does

Society for All, z.s. (SOFA) is a Czech non-profit registered association founded in 2011 (originally as ČOSIV, the Czech Professional Society for Inclusive Education, and rebranded in February 2023) and headquartered in Stará Huť, Czech Republic, with operations nationwide. The organization's mission is to advance quality education for all, child and educator mental health, and early identification of at-risk children by adapting evidence-based methodologies — including PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports), trauma-informed approach (TRA), and socio-emotional learning (SEL) — from international sources to the Czech context. Its service portfolio spans Akademie SOFA (a training academy offering paid courses, seminars, webinars, and accredited programs), the free e-Lektra trauma-informed e-learning course (5 modules co-developed with McKinsey Health Institute, Cincinnati Children's Hospital, and WHO Czech Republic Office), the Karta KID child-risk identification tool, and four year-long school accompaniment programs (PBIS, socio-emotional learning, trauma-informed approach, and wellbeing) that embed SOFA methodologies into multi-year institutional routines.

Technically, SOFA's core assets are content and methodological know-how rather than software IP: proprietary methodologies (RRRR — Respekt, Rozmanitost, Rovnost, Resilience), the Karta KID identification framework, the STRONG program for war-affected youth, and the Blízké vztahy bez násilí violence-prevention curriculum for ages 13–19. Delivery infrastructure consists of a self-serve e-learning platform (e-Lektra hosted on strongresilientyouth.org, Karta KID e-learning on kartakid.cz), a digital materials library (Knihovna), and a nationwide network of 200+ contracted lecturers who deliver on-site school training and accompaniment. The organization maintains MŠMT accreditation for selected courses.

The business model is a hybrid non-profit funding stack. Earned revenue comes from per-participant course fees (ranging from free webinars to CZK 5,550 per accredited course), group preventive programs (CZK 4,500 per cohort of up to 30), comprehensive case-management training (CZK 40,000), and subscription-style year-long school accompaniments priced by quotation. The remainder of the budget is grant-funded by foundations (Česká spořitelna Foundation, RSJ Foundation, Kladná nula, O2 Foundation), Czech government bodies (MŠMT, EU funds, EHP funds), and international organizations (UNICEF, WHO). Distribution is dual-channel: direct website enrollment for individual professionals and customized in-house training sold to schools and municipalities via a sales team, supplemented by partner referrals from MŠMT, UNICEF, PPPs, and SPCs.

Direct peers

• PBISApps: Commercial provider of PBIS implementation software (PBIS Rewards, PBIS Assessment) and training for schools. Direct peer to SOFA's whole-school PBIS accompaniment offering, differing mainly in software-centric delivery versus SOFA's lecturer-led model.
• Centrum LOCIKA: Czech non-profit providing therapeutic support for children affected by domestic violence and trauma. Direct peer in mission and geography, with overlapping customer base in Czech schools and social services, and an existing SOFA partner.
• Aperture Education: Provider of SEL assessment tools and curriculum for K-12 schools (DESSA, Aperture Framework). Direct peer in school-based SEL measurement, well-being, and behavior-support software and training.
• Inner Explorer: Delivers daily mindfulness and SEL programs to K-12 classrooms with educator training. Direct peer in school-embedded mindfulness, SEL, and educator well-being—categories overlapping with SOFA's Akademie SOFA well-being and SEL modules.
• Move This World: Provides K-12 SEL curriculum, professional development, and well-being programs to schools and districts. Closely comparable as a school-embedded SEL and mental-well-being content provider serving the same educator and administrator buyer.
• Committee for Children: US-based non-profit that develops the widely adopted Second Step SEL curriculum for K-12 schools. Direct peer in mission and product category (school-based SEL, bullying and violence prevention, child protection curricula) and the dominant international counterpart SOFA's RRRR methodology competes against on adaptation.
• Člověk v tísni (People in Need): One of the largest Czech NGOs, running nationwide education, social inclusion, and psychosocial support programs for children and schools. Most directly comparable Czech non-profit peer because of shared K-12 focus, methodology-driven programming, and national-scale delivery.

Broad incumbents

• CASEL (Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning): The leading US-based organization defining SEL frameworks, standards, and educator resources adopted globally. Broad incumbent peer whose CASEL-aligned SEL framework shapes the market SOFA's RRRR methodology sits within, including via SOFA's own referencing of CASEL-style SEL architecture.
• National Center for PBIS: The federally supported US technical assistance center that defines and disseminates the PBIS framework. Broad incumbent that originates the PBIS methodology SOFA adapts and delivers in the Czech Republic; comparable as the upstream standards body for SOFA's whole-school PBIS product.

Peers

• UNICEF Czech Republic: Czech country office funding child protection, psychosocial support, and inclusive education programs including SIGNALS with SOFA. Peer and partner simultaneously—comparable as the upstream funder/operator of child-wellbeing initiatives that SOFA's KID Card and trauma-informed products plug into.
