You Can Make it Happen

BREATHE LA O24u will reach more than 10,000 children throughout Los Angeles County in 2009-2010 school year as we partner with a number of school and afterschool programs.

But how?

Host an O24u Hour. Invite a small number of your friends and family to your home to share the value of the 024u and O24u Online Environmental Education Program. Let us know and BREATHE LA will provide training, materials, and guidance. It only takes an hour, and it makes a difference Knowledge is power, and O24u empowers children, families and our community to make positive changes in personal behavior that will impact our world. It all starts with you....and then moves beyond you.

O24u and O24u Online are hands-on, interactive environmental education programs for children who are

  • age 8-14
  • live in Los Angeles County
  • economically disadvantaged
  • face high air pollution risk

It takes only $18 to fund one child's learning experience through O24u.

BREATHE LA ripple effect works in our O24u train-the-trainer delivery model too. BREATHE LA provides partner organizations with O24u Facilitator Guides, Student Activity Books, and O24u t-shirts when available. A growing number of partner organizations deliver the program both after school and in the classroom. BREATHE LA provides training and quiality control through out the process. In addition, BREATHE LA works with partners to secure activity supplies. More important, children carry the ripple effect of the O24u experience into their homes and communities with positive lifestyle impacts.

What students gain through O24u:

  • The ability to make environmentally conscious decisions
  • Confidence in their ability to create a more healthy future
  • Increased self-awareness and awareness of community issues
  • The foundation to affect positive change within their local community

All levels of financial support will go a LONG WAY towards clean air and healthy lungs for local children and our community.
