The Rural Aspirations Project works to expand educational opportunities in rural Maine that develop and honor community while stimulating the innate curiosity of students and teachers.  We offer responsive professional development for teachers and administrators to build local capacity and honor local heritage.Our newest project is the Maine Forest Collaborative which aims to bring schools and communities together to design programming that empowers all students to actively contribute, as citizens and stewards, to the vitality of our forest communities today and into the future.
