We unite the people who care most about the future of Los Angeles. Focus them on the right things. And motivate them. With passion.

All of our programs, ongoing and single events, are designed to implement Los Angeles County’s social and environmental plan, OurCounty LA.

Ongoing programs
These extend over successive years for higher ed, K-12, professional development, faith and community. The programs represent different models of our accelerator process in action.

Pando Days | Higher Ed

Yes, there is hope for LA! Because we have a not-so-secret goal. To connect educators and college students to a big plan. The one that really matters. The Los Angeles County Sustainability Plan—the boldest county sustainability plan in the nation. With dedicated courses and labs that implement real-world projects to meet our biggest sustainability challenges.

Magenta House | K-12

A program in civic engagement to create a more water-conscious and power-wise future. We bring middle and high schools together with community-based organizations for project acceleration and neighborhood service.

Roadtrip to Pando | Professional Development

Peer-to-peer brainstorming meets wilderness adventure at the site of our namesake and one-tree-forest in Utah.

Pandotopia | Professional Development, Faith

Professional development for religious communities, this program focuses on developing hubs of interfaith (and no-faith) connection around education and service-based projects that meet local social and environmental challenges.

Campando | Community

Community leaders unplug, recharge, and make new connections for service.

Events
We produce single events that respond opportunistically to needs and prototype new ideas that might be worth taking for a longer ride.
