About Us

Sesame Workshop is a global nonprofit organization with a mission to help children everywhere grow smarter, stronger, and kinder.

We’re educators. Creators. Researchers. Moms. Dads. Caregivers. Friends. We’re a community of 300+ people (plus some amazing partners!) who are passionate about one thing: helping children.

We focus on the earliest years, when we know we can have the biggest impact. And we reach children in 190 countries, providing access to life-changing early education, critical health lessons, helpful tools for tough situations, and joy — lots of joy.
