About Kids in Seats

We transform donated experiences into powerful incentives that reward positive behavior and remove barriers to inspiring live events for at-risk and underserved youth.

Our Mission

Opening doors through experiences.

To advance youth development by transforming donated experiences of all kinds into powerful incentives that reward positive behavior, while removing the financial, logistical, and social barriers that prevent at-risk and underserved youth from accessing the inspiring world of live events.

We also create meaningful value for experience donors by providing a tax-deductible way to ensure their unused tickets make a real difference. Donors gain the satisfaction of knowing their generosity directly fuels positive choices, opens doors for young people, and turns what might have gone unused into a moment of joy, recognition, and possibility.

Our mission uniquely reaches youth who are too often unseen by traditional donor circles: young people whose hard work, resilience, and positive choices rarely receive public recognition. By connecting donors with these deserving youth, we shine a light on their efforts and ensure that transformative experiences reach those who need them most.

Our Goal

Memorable incentives for positive achievement.

Kids in Seats plays a vital role for schools and social service organizations by providing thousands of free tickets annually to major sports and entertainment events. Tickets to a major league baseball game, a concert, a theater performance, or another live experience are rewarded to students who have achieved program goals.

These memorable experiences serve as valuable incentives in reinforcing positive achievements for at-risk kids, helping children build confidence, personal discipline, and memories that can last a lifetime.
