What we are working on now
UndauntedK12 is working to ensure national, state, and local leaders place America’s K-12 schools at the center of efforts to modernize public infrastructure and create safer, healthier, more resilient learning environments for all students.
A Climate-Ambitious Agenda for America’s Public Schools
