Thrive Outside

Another reason to celebrate our new Outdoor Learning Zone project at the Kickemuit Middle School. If you would like to invest in the health/wellbeing, environmental literacy, the academic success of our young people AND the community of Warren, RI, please consider joining our Funders Collaborative to support this project!

We sure are grateful for the support of People's Credit Union, which comes in so many forms. Whether it's their sponsorship of our upcoming Earth Week Challenge (more soon on that!), their support in amplifying our mission messaging, or their willingness to lend an ear around development related challenges, we are so glad to have them as a partner. More soon on how People's Credit Union is also supporting a new Thrive Outside Outdoor Learning Zone project!

HERE WE GO! We are setting out to raise $10,000 over the next 2 days, and we need your help. Thrive Outside has big goals right now. We have a new Outdoor Learning Zone project at the Kickemuit Middle School that we need to launch, a Teacher Learning Circle that we need to expand, and SO many amazing ideas for youth nature programs that need to become a reality! Right now through April 2nd, you can make a difference by making a donation to Thrive Outside! Please donate here: https://lnkd.in/eRuv9bZT

Happy Love Day! Our hearts belong to the Earth. Everything we do at Thrive Outside is about giving our children (and their grown-ups) a chance to fall in love with nature. Join us this Valentine's Day in showing love to our planet. Our Thrive family will be handing bird feeders, picking up trash, eating plant-based foods and recycling valentine cards into art. We'd love to hear your ideas too!

We are so excited to announce our next Outdoor Learning Zone project, which will take place at the Kickemuit Middle School!  Outdoor Learning Zones and outdoor education training for teachers have been proven to promote academic success, pro-environmental behaviors, and healthy emotional and physical development among children.  They also expand access to outdoor learning opportunities for students with physical disabilities and students facing other barriers, such as living in a nature deprived area. If you would like to support this project as an individual or a business, or if you know of a school or community that would benefit from an Outdoor Learning Zone, please reach out.

We are very excited to play a supporting role in promoting this amazing program, where kids have the opportunity to participate in the "Final Mile" of the Newport Rhode Races & Events Inc. Marathon! Please help us spread the word.

"What am I doing??? I’d only run a handful of times in the past few weeks and here I was getting ready to start a New Year’s Day race (by Rhode Races & Events Inc. ). But I had promised myself to “step out” of my comfort zone, and so here I was."
