MISSION
In partnership with L.A. Works and the California Climate Action Corps, a program of California Volunteers (Office of the Governor), L.A. Works, we're on a mission to green up our school gardens and campuses with native, waterwise plants and gardening methods that will not only make these areas more beautiful, but will have a positive effect on student wellness.

IMPACT
Your volunteer efforts will restore green spaces throughout the campus, benefitting students, pollinators, and the larger community. Pasadena High School serves over 1800 students, with 81% of students identifying as Hispanic, Black, AAPI, or Indigenous. Thanks to your work, students will grow into great environmental stewards for their community, while learning about the importance of biodiversity and food security systems.
