Program Services

DescriptionGrantsExpenses
- Earth connection: The homestead campus of Maine Local Living School provides an experience of being fully supported by and connected to the earth. Students understand in an embodied way that we are in relationship with, dependent upon, and have a responsibility to all living beings. - Ecological intelligence: Knowledge of forest ecology, nutrient and carbon cycles, and systems science are important for wise inhabitation of the earth. The forest surrounding MLLS is a learning lab for these scientific principles. - Community: Students rely upon each other for their physical and emotional wellbeing. They cook, split wood and carry water for each other. They are guided to cultivate space and time to share thoughts and feelings, and care for each other. - Connection to place and history: Students use tools inherited from early settlers and plant seeds bred by indigenous scientists. MLLS programs strive to honor the origins of the diverse skills and understandings that sustain life here. - Creativity: Students become makers rather than consumers, using their hands to craft useful and beautiful items from wood, leather and fiber. - Emotional health: Each day youth engage in practices that support silence, observation, and reflection in the absence of screens; practices that can dramatically increase emotional wellbeing. - Active Hope: Living through the climate crisis and intertwined social and ecological crises, an increasing number of youth feel anxiety and grief. On the homestead we practice hope every day; building soil fertility, planting seeds, and engaging in positive, reciprocal relationships with the earth.$52$102,791
