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. Some of the audience the program currently engages includes: 1,000+ podcast listeners month; 5,000+ social media followers; 900+ newsletter subscribers; 10,000+ newspaper readers; and hundreds of live event attendees year. 0 21278 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 77% of whom lack science proficiency and 45% 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 40 scientist mentors have hosted over 70 students for internships job shadows and field trip series. 99% of participating students report increased scientific literacy 95% of participating students report increased college or career readiness and 93% of participating students report increased interest in science or STEM careers. 0 21237 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 weve trained over 425 guides from over 25 organizations businesses. 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 9490 52005 Kristina Young Board Chair 1 0 Brett Sutteer Board Secretary 0.25 0 Sophia Fisher Board Treasurer 0.5 0 Susan Bellagamba Board Vice Chair 0.25 0 Carrie Schwartz Executive Director 20 29700 0 0 false false false false false 0 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 59209 75975 117577 102397 144613 499771 0 0 0 0 12609 12609 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3900 3885 3377 0 0 11162 63109 79860 120954 102397 157222 523542 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 523542 0 0 0 2421 3169 5590 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2421 3169 5590 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 202 1463 0 0 1665 63109 80062 122417 104818 160391 530797 0.9863 0.00 0.0105 0.00 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Part I, line 16 | Other Expenses:, Amount:| Digital Marketing Advertising, $390| Venue Rental, $115| Insurance, $2194| Meals Entertainment, $73| Program Supplies & Materials, $570| Taxes & Licenses, $217| Travel Lodging Mileage Reimbursements for guest speakers etc, $2416| Service & Transaction Fees, $140| Office Supplies + Software Subscriptions Bookkeeping Video Meetings Design etc, $3015| Part II, line 26 | Explanation:, BOYAmount:, EOYAmount:| Liabilities, $4796, $3808|
