Testimonials from our Members
PLAN was a reliable support throughout the process ofstarting our move-out program. Their manuals gave us direction, and advising calls gave us ideas. It's reassuring and encouraging to know PLAN is there for us as we grow our young program.

We live in a world desperately needing change, but passion and solutions already exist all around us. The only thing missing is a link between people and ideas. That's what PLAN is doing: helping connect pieces of the puzzle that is the Zero Waste Movement.

Discovering PLAN made me realize we weren’t alone. There is a whole movement of student leaders and we are making a difference.

Working with PLAN has helped me carry out my work on campus more effectively. Whether completing a specific leadership training or a one-on-one session, I always leave with a better idea of the steps that I'll need to take to turn my plans into reality.
