Help us raise $105,000 so that all students can connect to and share the Great Lakes in meaningful ways.
A Message from our Executive Director:
This time of year invites reflection, and as I think back on the work of Inland Seas Education Association over the past 35 years, I am filled with immense gratitude for the many volunteers, donors, partners, teachers, and students who make up our community. By investing in us and encouraging our work, our community has enabled us to grow as an organization, deepening our impact locally and expanding our reach throughout the Great Lakes region.
“I enjoy seeing the students’ eyes open to the fact that science is not just in a book or a lab within the four walls of the classroom. Science surrounds us every day and the experience aboard the schooner brings science alive. I tell students they’ll learn more in three hours on the boat than they will in three weeks in the classroom.”
Andy Henderson, 7th grade teacher at Kalkaska Public School
It is only because of your support, and others in our incredible community, that we were able to welcome Andy’s 124 Kalkaska 7th graders and reach over 6,500 participants at eight ports through 320 programs this year. Your giving has been instrumental in allowing us to fully implement our second schooner, Alliance, and a suite of shoreside Watershed Exploration programs to engage these stewards in Great Lakes protection. Help us reach our goal of $105,000 by December 31.
