our mission
SEAT is a movement of young people developing transferable skills and demonstrating youth visibility in policymaking.
By engaging in constructive action with active engagement in hands-on opportunities of advocacy and education, we're creating a vehicle for driving civic transformation as we build a social movement for bettering our communities and dismantling oppressive power structures.
Through storytelling and intergenerational partnerships, we're cultivating cultural shifts to center student narratives, promote student rights, and shape a future where students hold agency in education. Check out our work!
