Walking Mountains Science Center's mission is to awaken a sense of wonder and inspire environmental stewardship through natural science education. To that end, we are focused on the following goals: 1. Improve the science literacy among the students in Eagle County by providing hands-on, experiential natural science education programs, indoors and out, that excite them about learning science and increase their knowledge of our mountain environment 2. Train exceptional science teachers through a graduate fellowship program whose participants serve as our educators for 15 months, then pursue their masters degrees and teaching careers where they continue to inspire students wherever they are located 3. Provide innovative science and environmental education programs for adults and families, both residents and visitors, that make them aware of the importance of sustainability, energy conservation, and the protection of our mountain environment, inspiring to take what they learned back to their home communities 4. Involve members of the community in citizen science projects, i.e. monitoring the water quality in Buck Creek on our campus, participating in annual bird counts, etc.

The NOCCA Foundation champions the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts. We build philanthropic, lasting partnerships. We invest in young artists, their mentors and the community through programs that encourage educational and cultural innovation. HOW WE SUPPORT NOCCA: The New Orleans Center for Creative Arts was founded in 1973 and opened its doors to students in 1974. Today, NOCCA is Louisiana’s arts conservatory for high school students, offering intensive instruction in Classical Music, Creative Writing, Culinary Arts, Dance, Drama, Jazz, Media Arts, Musical Theatre, Theatre Design, Vocal Music, Visual Arts, and academics. Students come from across Louisiana, attending via full-day, afternoon, and after-school sessions. Admission to NOCCA is by audition, and there is no tuition. The NOCCA Foundation (formerly The NOCCA Institute) is NOCCA’s nonprofit partner, providing supplemental funding for NOCCA and advocacy for its world-class program. Some of the Foundation’s more notable endeavors include: a Student Success Program that pays for students’ classroom supplies, college application fees, required private music lessons, fees associated with important summer training programs across the country, as well as emergency food support; an Artists-in-Residence Program that brings more than 100 professional visiting artists into NOCCA’s classrooms each year; the capital campaign for NOCCA’s current home and expansion projects like Press Street Gardens; a wide array of arts classes for adults; and concert, gallery, and literary events for the community. The Foundation also oversees rentals of the NOCCA campus, making it available to arts organizations, individuals, corporations, and other groups.
