Truckee Source to Sea School – 2018 was our second and final year on the Truckee River and our team of student ambassadors worked in the classroom and on the river to bring watershed education to over 1,230 students.  Plus they got to run some wicked fun whitewater along the way!  Read more about the Truckee Source To Sea School in this blog post.  For 2019, Source To Sea School will be on the East Coast in coastal New Hampshire on the Lamprey River.  Get excited! We are!  More on that in the near future.

Source-to-Sea Grants Kickoff – in our inaugural year of grants, we supported Still River Silent Jungle, an expedition and film project raising awareness about a threatened river in Bolivia.  Hayley Stuart and her team are making great strides generating positive change for rivers.  Do you have a Source-to-Sea planned for 2019?  If so, check out our grant program to see how we can help support your adventure!

Gorge Downwind Champs – if you were one of the lucky 750 paddlers at this year’s Gorge Downwind Champs, you know what an amazing week and race this is.  Thank you to Carter Johnson and the “Champs” for making RFC the beneficiary, and we hope to see you in 2019 for another great event!  If you want to get involved, join Rivers for Change in Hood River in 2019 and volunteer with us to support the Downwind Champs.  Let’s make it the biggest year yet!
