Our Mission: To engage our community in ideas that matter.
Laguna Beach and the broader south Orange County region are comprised of diverse groups of intelligent people. While this region is blessed with access to venues for learning, there is still a great need to expose local residents to ideas that shape our culture and the future of the world in which we live. Below are organizations that we feel are important.
