MAKE THE WORLD OUR CLASSROOM
Children at Pono spend at least 50% of their time outdoors all year round. This donation level supports the cost of all outdoor, immersive education programs. From excursions to wildlife sanctuaries to artist studios, immersive learning in nature and the city ensures children gain direct experiences of the world through the lens of the environment, ethics, economics, politics, design, technology, and social justice.
