Partners

Tenderfoot is named in part for those brave souls who take on new things, who are willing to risk failure — and persevere when it inevitably happens — to achieve new heights. Our sincere gratitude goes out to the fine folks who took a chance on Tenderfoot in our earliest days. Without their faith in us and willingness to partner, Tenderfoot’s path to stability would have been a much steeper climb.

Our interest in partnering continues. We’re looking for partnerships with:

• schools & universities to provide sustainability-based educational experiences for students of any age,
• those seeking to improve access to education in the Appalachian region,
• those interested in collaborating on grant proposals to support joint projects, and
• local sustainable farms to create a full-diet CSA program.

Please email us at tenderfootlearninglab@gmail.com if you’re interested in working together to our mutual benefit.

Endless thanks to our earliest believers:
