School and Youth Programs
The District supports science-based programs that educate youth and families about the impacts of air pollution. We aim to teach students about where air pollution comes from and ways to reduce it in San Diego County.

District staff will come to your school and talk to students about air quality and protecting public health. Community Outreach staff work with teachers to coordinate the best date and time that works with their classroom schedule. Contact the Community Outreach Office to schedule a speaker for your school.
