How We Help
The Pando Initiative has been successfully connecting with students in area schools since 1990. Our programs focuses on connecting with students in the school to give them to tools they need to succeed. 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
A future led by the next generation; empowered through connections, inspired to lead, and equipped to thrive.
Our Mission
The Pando Initiative builds strong and supportive connections with students, families, and communities that promote success in school, at home, and in life.
