Friends of Peralta Hacienda Historical Park
This grant will allow diverse, low-income children and youth from Oakland’s Fruitvale neighborhood to visit Angel Island State Park on a day trip and Mount Diablo State Park on a two-night overnight, providing funding for outreach, transportation, equipment, and staff, as well as visit nearby Robert W. Crown State Beach. The trips will connect them to the wider regional ecologies and history.

Providence Saint John’s Child and Family Development Center
Series of wilderness outings over the course of two years to enhance the mental health and well-being of under-resourced and overburdened families with young children in Los Angeles. Families living at or below the poverty level face a cascade of issues impacting their mental wellness and capacity to parent well. The Nurture in Nature program provides full-day family outings in nature with the goal of promoting mental wellness, decreasing parenting stress, and enhancing parent-child attachment. Young children thrive when they can access experiences that nurture and support them, and support their parents, too.
