We envision communities across the Colorado Plateau thriving from a deeper engagement with science and place-based knowledge. To achieve this goal we are incubating science-based economic opportunities that cherish intact healthy ecosystems while sustaining the local community through three key programs: Outreach science podcast and live event series School to Science science mentorship for underserved high school students and Science Certified innovative science communication training for outdoor recreation guides. The Outreach program comprises our free community science outreach programs and offerings including a science radio show podcast science live event series and other media. The program currently engages: 700-900 podcast listeners episode; 4,800 social media followers week; 900 newsletter subscribers month; and 15,000 local newspaper readers month. 0 37089 The School to Science program pairs local high school students with scientists working in the field the lab and museums for hands-on science mentorship. Exposure to scientific careers is almost non-existent for most students in this community 52% of whom lack science proficiency and 31% whom are at risk of poverty in adulthood so such opportunities are powerful for students' scholastic career and personal development. Since the program launched in August 2021 26 scientist mentors have hosted 58 students for Internships Job shadows and field trip series. 92% of participating students report increased scientific literacy 98% of participating students report increased college or career readiness and 100% of participating students would recommend the program to another student. 0 15181 Science Certified is-to our knowledge-the only program of its kind in the western US or elsewhere.With some three million visitors recreating on public lands around Moab Utah each year this unique fragile desert environment is under constant and increasing duress from intense use and harmful behavior stemming from lack of knowledge. By providing science communication training to outdoor guides who can in turn educate tens of thousands of visitors each year our Science Certified program increases visitors' environmental awareness understanding and responsible behavior while recreating on public lands. Since the program launched in November 2021 we've trained over 400 guides. Program participants report an average 2-point increase in scientific knowledge on a 7-point scale and 95% report feeling more comfortable more confident and more likely to communicate science with their clients after completing our training. 0 19207 71477 Kristina Young Board Chair 1 0 0 0 Brett Sutteer Board Secretary 0.25 0 0 0 Sophia Fisher Board Treasurer 0.5 0 0 0 Susan Bellagamba Board Member 0.25 0 0 0 false false false false false false false false false UT Carrie Schwartz 125 W 200 S 105 MOAB UT 84532 4356101280 false false false false false false false false false false false NONE NONE true X 2500 59209 75975 117577 102397 357658 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3900 3885 3377 0 11162 2500 63109 79860 120954 102397 368820 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 368820 0 0 0 0 2421 2421 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2421 2421 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 202 1463 0 1665 2500 63109 80062 122417 104818 372906 X Part III, line 12 | S.No:, Year:, Description:| 1, 2022, Checking Account interest revenue| 2, 2021, Utah State Sales Tax Return| RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Part I, line 10 | Activity:, Grantee Name:, Grantee Address:, Amount:, Relationship:| 2023 Pass-through grant; share of funding from grant awarded by City of Moab, Moab Festival of Science, "PO Box 523 Moab UT 84532", $2500.00, None| 2024 Pass-through grant; share of funding from grant awarded by City of Moab, Moab Festival of Science, "PO Box 523 Moab UT 84532", $3000.00, None| Part I, line 16 | Other Expenses:, Amount:| Advertising & Promotion, $81.00| Bank Charges & Fees, $120.00| Gasoline School to Science Program, $54.00| Equipment Rental, $145.00| Facility Rental, $896.00| Speaker Honoraria, $2350.00| Insurance, $2081.00| Meals & Entertainment, $378.00| Office Supplies laptop etc, $490.00| Subscription Services Quickbooks Adobe Zoom etc, $1668.00| Supplies for mentors School to Science, $281.00| Student Lunches School to Science, $76.00| Taxes & Licenses, $2097.00| Travel Mileage Reimbursement Lodging for speakers etc, $1860.00| Thank-you gifts, $21.00| Merchandise non-fundraiser non-sales, $311.00| Professional Development, $136.00| Other Program Supplies & Materials, $1118.00| Transaction Service fees, $3.00| Part II, line 26 | Liabilities Name:, BOY Amount:, EOY Amount:| Payroll Liabilities, $5674, $4796|
