We appreciate the financial support of our core donors. There are additional ways to support equitable access to our programming for all students:
- Corporate sponsorship of our Summer Immersion allows us to offer sliding scale tuition to all students.
- Donate airline miles. Many students are limited by the expense of the flight to participate in experiential learning.
- Donate GoPros and iPads. Our goal is for every student to be able to tell their environmental story.
- Donate high quality scuba equipment. Many of our domestic and international students in the future leaders program needs equipment to enroll in dive leader training.
