Teaching for a Livable Future

The Sustainable Environment Institute unites faculty, students, and staff across nine LACCD colleges to embed climate action, environmental equity, and place-based learning into every discipline.

From studio art to engineering labs, SEI supports educators with ready-to-teach modules, community partnerships, and a shared library of practices that turn coursework into climate solutions.

SEI coordinates district-wide initiatives, curates resources, and runs workshops that make sustainability actionable. Our network helps instructors collaborate, align outcomes, and connect students with hands-on projects—on campus and across Los Angeles.
