The Center recently awarded its last round of 2009 Connect Grants for Culturally Diverse Communities. These grants partner the Leave No Trace program with organizations serving diverse communities to promote responsible recreation and environmental stewardship.
Students from the Wilderness Leadership and Learning (WILL) program in D.C. - previous Connect Grant recipient - on an expedition along the Appalachian Trail.
Connect Grants this round were awarded to:
- Campfire USA - Heartland Council, KS
- Sierra Nevada Journeys, CA
- Prairie View A&M University, TX
- Student Conservation Association - Community Crew Program, FL
- Valley View Elementary School, AZ
Connect Grants award educational materials, training and scholarships that support Leave No Trace community programs and strive to create long-term partnerships with recipients.
Know of an organization that you'd like to nominate for a Connect Grant in 2010? Have some tips on how to make the Leave No Trace program most relevant to your own community?
