Springboard connects new founders with resources they need to create quality, sustainable programs. Email kam@springboardlife.org to learn more.

We’re always looking to be introduced to new organizations. 

Springboard is particularly well-suited to work with organizations that…

• Are forming/start-up entities with visionary leadership

• Are less than 10 years old and/or with operating budgets under $2M

Are more established programs with larger budgets who seek to enter a new phase of development or establish a new project

Springboard particularly seeks programs that:

• Work with students for a semester (10 weeks) or longer.

• Demonstrate a strong academic core, generally through a crediting partnership with one or more colleges or universities

• Demonstrate a commitment to establishing young people’s connection with the natural world

• Are based in the U.S.

Springboard values our partnerships with colleges and universities. We connect colleges to our partner institutes to form credit agreements and facilitate site visits for college leaders to see our partner sites in action.

We are always looking for researchers to support our initiatives through the creation of a credible evidence base. Interested in getting involved? Have your own idea for research? Email grace@springboardlife.org

Check out our partner institutes on our “Who We Support” page. You can also join the Microcollege Network to meet young people who have had experiences at microcolleges and living learning institutes, and the educators who run them.
