We care about community, so we first and foremost establish trust and respect.
We care about agency, so we let everyone learn, grow, and create freely.
We care about accessibility, so we try to make our work broad and participatory.
Through this, we build a pipeline of civically-engaged scientifically-informed citizens who are finding and supporting other young people to lead, while acting on problems they identify to create change.
