Our Current Funding Priorities:
1. Elko Expansion
We recently moved into our own office space in Elko and are currently working hard to raise funds to provide a wide variety of programming throughout the county including classroom lessons, field trips, summer camps and community outreach events
2. Rural School Travel
We take pride and strive to deliver quality education programs to even the most rural communities throughout Humboldt, Elko and Pershing counties. These are places and schools that are often overlooked and underserved. They take time and money to get to, but are a big priority for us.
3. Nature in My World
We recently created our new Nature in My World field experience programs for 1st-4th graders and are always looking to increase funding to provide those opportunities to more schools. Additionally, we are looking to develop and provide place-based Nature in My World programming for 5th and 6th graders.
