Gateway to the Great Outdoors (GGO) requests $4,988 from the Young Leaders Fund to fund the purchase of 200 sleeping bags to be used on GGO overnight camping trips. In the 2020-2021 school year, GGO expanded to four new partner schools through the Go & Grow program, which provided students with take-home STEAM learning kits, and through virtual programming. Support from the Young Leaders Fund will go directly towards the transition to in-person programming, which includes classroom and outdoor learning, with these new partner schools in the fall 2021 semester. GGO provides all of the necessary equipment for field and camping trips to ensure an equitable experience for students who might not otherwise have access to outdoor engagement.
