Sierra Nevada Journeys (SNJ)
is a 501(c)3 nonprofit that uses the unique outdoor classrooms of our region to deliver impactful science education to promote long-term student achievement. We do this by combining school based curriculum, field and residential experiential programs, and professional development for teachers, creating multiple education points of contact for students and schools. Our programs create higher cognition and long term student achievement, while building the capacity of educators to effectively teach their curriculum.
