"I've learned about city life. I wasn't used to the busyness,
crowding, pollution, different races, how everyone's independent - I
have learned to accept and respect different people for what they are
and to respect their culture." |
Trekkers History
Trekkers began in 1994 as a volunteer
community initiative for students living in Thomaston, a small fishing
community in mid-coast Maine. In 1996, students from two other surrounding
communities were included. During the first five years, Trekkers
primarily worked with 7th and 8th grade students. With the expansion
of a year-round program implemented in 1999, Trekkers now offers programs
to local students from 7th to 12th grades. Trekkers officially became
its own non-profit 501 (c) 3 organization in 2000 and currently serves
over 150 students during its program year.
