Sierra Nevada Journeys

The New Nature of Learning Sierra Nevada Journeys is a 501(c)3 nonprofit in Northern Nevada and Northern California that delivers innovative outdoor, science-based education programs for youth to develop critical thinking skills and to inspire natural resource stewardship. Through multiple points of contact, our classroom-based programs, overnight science camps, professional development for teachers, and parent engagement opportunities surround students with resources they need to succeed. All programs are designed to foster higher cognition and build long-term student achievement. We prioritize diversity, equity, and inclusion. Our view is that active reflection, engagement, and commitment to these principles is crucial to creating a workplace that has diverse perspectives.
