How We Help
The Pando Initiative has been successfully connecting with students in area schools since 1990. Our programs focuses on individual students who are struggling with school and life. We position a dedicated staff member inside partner schools in Wichita, Derby, Haysville, and Maize public schools.
Our goal is to help remove obstacles that keep students from reaching their goals and being successful. We have dedicated team members in each of our schools to help address both academic and non-academic impediments that prevent students’ learning. We measure success by improving attendance, behavior, and academic performance.
Our Vision
To ensure every student in our community graduates, ready for their next stage.
Our Mission
We connect with students to help them engage and thrive in education and their future.
