Educators, do you have an idea for a project that will connect students with the outdoors? The Upper Valley Teaching Place Collaborative is accepting applications for its 2022 mini-grants! Click here to view the application.
UVTPC will award eight grants of up to $1,000 each. These grants are designed to help teachers and learning communities implement programming in the spring or prepare during the summer for the coming school year. Grants are available for, but not limited to, professional development, procurement of supplies, developing flexible classroom spaces, and collaboration with the community.
The UVTPC is funded by the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation’s Wellborn Ecology Fund. Founded in 2017 as the Wellborn Hub, the Upper Valley Teaching Place Collaborative (UVTPC) is a network of professional development providers and practitioners who work together to advance high-quality place-based and ecological education (PBEE) in all Upper Valley Schools.
