Our Story

Princia was founded in 2023 with a vision to combat light pollution and preserve the natural beauty of our night skies. As the only student-run 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to this cause, we are uniquely positioned to inspire change through education, advocacy, and community engagement. What began as a small initiative has grown into a powerful movement, driven by passionate individuals committed to making a difference.

Since our inception, Princia has achieved significant milestones in the fight against light pollution. We have:

• Been invited to speak the United Nations General Assembly in New York City.
• Successfully advocated for light pollution regulations in multiple states/municipalities.
• Conducted research on the impact of light pollution on human health and wildlife.
• Involved 70+ advocates spanning across 4 continents.
