The stipend program removed financial barriers that would otherwise prevent qualified young adults from participating in this gap year educational program focused on learning to trust their intuition, kindle their courage, and cultivate their compassion. This direct funding advances the organization's educational exempt purpose by making life-changing learning opportunities accessible regardless of economic background.
