On this Father's Day, we explore healthy masculinity through the viewpoints of a few Throop members, Richard Elkin, Dave Ryan, and Taran Sindeband.


Celebrate our city's goal of 100% carbon-free electric power by 2030! Say no more business as usual to Pasadena Water & Power.


Join us to gather seeds in the Throop Learning Garden. Collect them to start your own garden, or we can save extra seeds for upcoming Throop events. You may find a variety of seeds, like California poppies, wild fennel, nasturtium, milkweed, and many more! Gloves and pruning shears are always helpful.
