DescriptionGrantsExpenses
Program Accomplishments: Gaia Passages hired a new executive director and offered afterschool and summer programs. The organization changed program names and refined curriculum, and began offering programs to non-female identified youth, honoring the need for nature connection in all people, regardless of gender expression or age. Also, Gaia Passages began to act as fiscal agent for other Rites of Passage and Nature Education Programs to help them get funding for this important work.-$21,160
