Overview
Trips for Kids is requesting OE support to continue the strategic planning process to separate the Marin chapter from the National programs. There is a need for the Marin chapter to expand to other areas in the Bay Area, and they will be better positioned to serve underserved youth if they don't manage the national program as well. Trips for Kids Marin was the original model than has now grown to over 75 independent chapters. The legal separation will ensure growth and success for both.
