Connecting Communities

This year’s PSU theme, “Connecting Communities,” celebrates community-based partnerships in education. At each event, we will feature a local non-profit, highlighting how community efforts can serve as a unifying force in education. We will also spotlight PSU attendees, schools, and districts for their efforts in positively impacting their communities. Join us as we foster connections and celebrate the power of community engagement this year at PSU.

OC Animal Allies is a non-profit organization whose programs are aimed at saving the lives of animals by providing community education, emergency resources, and referral services to Orange County community residents.
