Sponsor:
First Light Learning Journey is a program of New Learning Journey, Inc: a nonprofit collaborative working at the nexus of community development, conservation and social justice that seeks to deepen people’s relationship to place through strengthening cultural, economic and environmental resilience. We see a larger and more diverse world that cares about the relationship between people and nature than is reflected in the story of conservation today. We seek to respectfully reduce that gap through in- depth, transformational, cross-cultural learning experiences to foster new ways of thinking and new partners.
