OUR COMMUNITY PARTNERS
We partner with schools and community organizations to implement our programs rather than recruiting participants directly. This approach helps ensure that we are prioritizing service to members of our community with the highest need, and it also allows us to build trust with families that often don’t feel welcome to participate in water safety and wellness activities they have been historically excluded from. We are proud to have built strong partnerships with the following organizations, and we welcome inquiries from new potential partners that may help us to increase our impact in the future.
