ABOUT US
Who we are, What is "Good", and Why we Exist

We are led by a team of students, educators, researchers, and psychologists, all volunteering our time to help students thrive. 

The term "Good" comes from Harvard University's scientist Howard Gardner and his colleagues, who define "good" as being ethical, excellent, and engaging. 

The Good Student was founded to address the challenges that young people face. These include an increase in mental health challenges, limited social support, lack of access to resources, and the desire for confidentiality when seeking support.

​The nonprofit was founded and Tool designed by Joe Dorri, a former excelling student who experienced mental health challenges that led to isolation, lack of social support, and difficulty in life and college. 
It was in university that he met his mentor, Phil Zimbardo, who along with others helped him achieve success. You can learn more about his journey in a University of Southern California student spotlight story available online.

​We make our resources available to students who want to succeed in school and thrive in life.
