Pando Days is the most ambitious undertaking of its kind for County resilience. And the public is invited to be a part!

Pando Days brings together ten Southland colleges and universities to create ingenious new initiatives for a resilient Los Angeles County. Teams from each participating school chose a County sustainability goal to help implement. Seven months later, their plans and prototypes are ready to premiere to the public online over ten roll-out virtual events and a juried finale. Join us online on Zoom to see the ingenious initiatives that have been developed to build community resilience. REGISTER.
