Company Overview

Population Connection (formerly ZPG) is the national grassroots population organization that educates young people and advocates progressive action to stabilize world population at a level that can be sustained by Earth's resources. We believe that overpopulation threatens the quality of life for people everywhere. We seek to protect the environment and ensure a high quality of life for present and future generations. Population Connection's advocacy programs aim to influence public policies, attitudes, and behavior on national and global population issues and related concerns.

Population Connection’s Education Program is the only national, population education program with a strong emphasis on teacher training for educators of grades pre-K through 12.

Since 1975, the program has developed age-appropriate curricula to complement students’ science and social science instruction about human population trends and their impacts on natural resources, environmental quality and human well-being.
