The Cicada Institute

The Cicada Institute is an educational organization whose mission is to provide comprehensive holistic learning to youth based on the principles of empowerment, environmental activism, multi-generational wisdom, community service, and psychological self-regulation. By working with, listening to, and supporting at-risk youth, Cicada offers students authentic agency to lead their own recovery, build long-term, sustainable, and resilient communities and combat the effects of climate change through critical thinking and practical  innovation.

The Cicada Institute envisions vibrant, resilient, connected, and empowered students that will shift the paradigm of educational capitalism, social injustice, and climate change towards a more peaceful, just, and sustainable world.
