You Did It!

Spring 2017 Newsletter - Thanks to you, we reached our goal to permanently fund an internship position for our Education & Outreach Program.

This Fund will enable TILT to hire a college student each year whose role will be to support Terra Bach, Education & Outreach Coordinator. This year, the position is held by Nicole Gokey, a student at Jefferson Community College in Watertown. Nicole is responsible for our social media presence, and helps with distributing press releases and flyers, promoting TILT’s activities. She also helps to develop education programs, our TILTreks & Talks and especially our KidsTreks.

The goal was $90,000 to permanently endow this internship, and YOU reached that goal this winter, raising an additional $22,000 to cap the fund. Thank you!
