Every student has the ability to thrive, and all students, regardless of identity or need, deserves personalized social-emotional support to maximize their happiness and potential.
Our Purpose
Our Name
Every one of us has had that moment where we walk into a lunchroom, a classroom, onto a bus, or in social settings and aren’t sure where to sit and if we’ll be accepted. It’s a moment of vulnerability but also a moment of opportunity when a seat is enthusiastically offered. When students access OpenSeat’s app, our goal is to ensure there are effective coaches available when a student needs them.
