An Update to Our Esteemed Community:
We are reaching out with an important update on Life Lab, which is undergoing significant changes related to programming and staffing.
Life Lab is a charitable 501(c)3 nonprofit that became financially overextended when large contracts ended and philanthropic support for program expansion did not come through. Working closely with our Board of Directors and consultants, we reduced staff to accommodate for programming changes and the pursuit of promising opportunities.
Going forward, we are shifting our focus back to Life Lab’s 45+ years of national impact as a train-the-trainer for garden educators. As a part of this restructuring plan, Life Lab has secured philanthropic funding to continue offering exceptional professional development opportunities for educators nationwide while operating summer camps and internships at our Garden Classroom in Santa Cruz, CA.
This comes as Life Lab and Pajaro Valley Unified School District collaborate to transition our PVUSD Partner Schools program. To learn more about this transition, visit lifelab.org/pajaro.
For questions related to Life Lab’s restructuring, please contact Whitney Cohen.
Life Lab cultivates children's love of learning, nourishing food, and nature through garden-based education.
We know that garden-based learning is important to you. Like a garden, Life Lab needs pollinators to help us grow our programs. Please share our work with friends and family and donate as you are able.
