Look How Far We’ve Come!!

Over the past year as a non-profit organization The Back Porch Initiatives has come a very long way. In twelve short months we have already hosted and facilitated environmental educational programming at over 50 schools and universities throughout the Southeastern United States, enrolled fifteen students in our very own Summer Youth Campaign School in New Orleans, Louisiana and have worked to establish a weekly environmental forum aimed at elevating community discussion and action in our new headquarters of Richmond, Virginia. We could not have achieved these successes without your generous support and active participation!! Your continued support is much-appreciated as we launch into our second year.
