Our take
First born in Stanford Design School's lauded k12 Innovation Lab in response to growing youth mental health crises, Project Wayfinder set out to reimagine adolescent education.
The platform is now used by over tens of thousands of students around the world, and is focused on developing adolescents' sense of belonging, purpose and meaning. Wayfinder's system is a constantly evolving, research-based social-emotional learning curriculum that can be integrated into schools' wellness programs.
Wayfinder has repurposed to focus on building digital versions of its curriculum as a result of the pandemic. Further, recent seed funding will be used to accelerate product development, scale Wayfinder's sales efforts, and to support research into the program's impact.
