How can you know where you want to go if you can't figure out who you are? We created Wayfinder to help all young people find their way. Our PreK-12 curriculum helps students develop future-ready skills, a sense of belonging at school, and the ability to navigate the future with purpose. With beautifully designed lesson materials, we make it easy for teachers to prepare for any lesson in five minutes or less. “I’ve been teaching a really long time, and this is one of the few times my mind has been blown.” Learn what's possible with Wayfinder: https://wfndr.co/495pGCI #curriculum #futurereadyskills #21stcenturyskills

Beyond SEL: Build purpose + belonging for future-ready students.
About us
Wayfinder was born at the Stanford d.school after asking one key design question: How can we reimagine education to develop a student’s sense of meaning, purpose, and belonging? Our K-12 curriculum and products support students in developing belonging + purpose by meaningfully connecting with their inner selves, their local communities, and the wider world.

Having used Wayfinder this past school year with my 12th graders, I’m here to say loudly—this program is fantastic. Aligned SEL curriculum that is engaging, relevant and allows vulnerability for students and adults—truly, it’s a product that any school should feel excited to explore and proud to utilize!

Wayfinder is thrilled to partner with the Hawaiʻi DOE and Education Incubator to bring a custom version of our SEL curriculum to all DOE middle schools and alternative learning programs! This project, which fosters purpose and belonging for young people, is beyond personally meaningful for me as a School Psychologist and a product of Hawaiʻi public schools. I can't wait to share more about it next week at Education Leadership Institute! :)
