PANDO POPULUS

Maybe it's possible to transform every school in LA County into a catalyst for the next generation of climate leaders

What if educational institutions became the backbone of a social movement that rallies young people to build regenerative communities?

Pando Populus is a non-profit educational organization developing civic engagement programs for sustainability

Pando works with K-12, higher education, professional groups, and faith communities to create widespread adoption of LA County's ambitious sustainability plan.
