1/19/12: SWA receives unexpected donation from Pingree School
How do we keep going? This is a question that I ask myself sometimes?.. Through conversations with a friend this past fall a connection was made which lead to the Pingree School in S. Hamilton, MA, running a "Smoothie" fundraiser for SWA and us receiving an unexpected donation check this week for $370! It is hard for us to express our deep gratitude for their support.

1/17/12: SWA met with Tanglewood 4-h Camp to discuss collaboration
As part of SWA's expansion into additional youth offerings, Bryan met with the camp director of Tanglewood Camp in Lincolnville, ME to discuss trip offerings. This seems to be another great partnership between the two camps in which both organizations share similar philosophies and focus. SWA is currently working on a couple of trip offerings with Tanglewood and hope to have them posted soon.
12/18/11: SWA receives 2 grants! One from the Equity Fund and on from YLAT -
The Equity Fund grant is for our LGBT programming and the Youth Leadership Advisory Team voted to award SWA a Creative Opportunities Grant for Foster Care programming. We have been writing grant requests until our hands hurt since we have purchased the new bus and we are, as always, extremely excited by this news.
As you can read now on our website, we have been expanding our programming and as very enthusiastic about our LGBT programming. Like any new programming their are many things to consider and a little funding to get the ball rolling is terrific.
The YLAT grant is particularly special to us since it was voted on by the very group of kids that we have focused our programming towards. We have taken a big leap in the purchased of our new bus and this grant is instrumental in helping with this acquisition.
