How PandoKids™ Helps
PandoKids™ has student support advocates in 27 schools throughout Sedgwick County. These dedicated staff members partner with their school to work directly with students to address academic and non-academic obstacles.
Through PandoKids™, students are connected through relationships that help them to build strength, vitality, and the courage to take the initiative to succeed.
We measure our overall success by improved attendance, behavior, and academic performance.
