Stickiness

The Mosaic Project has an incredibly high percentage of alumni that stay involved in the organization. Approximately half of our current Youth Leaders are former students of the Outdoor Project, 15 4th- 9th grade alumni serve on our Children’s Board of Directors, six Youth Leaders serve on our Youth Board of Directors, 35 Youth Leaders have become Outdoor Project staff, six have become year-round staff, and four have become members of our adult Board of Directors. Alumni become leaders not only in The Mosaic Project, but in their schools and larger communities. As they carry their Mosaic lessons with them, their impact is exponential.

Testimonials

“When I attended Mosaic in 5th grade it changed my life. I think Mosaic was the starting point of my growth as a person.” — Hileena, age 16, former student

“Empathy has the power to unlock secrets to more effective schools, longer, healthier relationships, and just plain old quality interactions… that dream, and the power to make it happen, is what I learned at Mosaic.” — Severin, age 19, former Youth Leader

“Mosaic gave me the opportunity to see, appreciate, and accept the diversity that I would experience later in life.” — Nina, age 17, Youth Leader

“Mosaic is a peaceful, safe environment and it helps people be free and spread out their wings. That’s why I want to be a Mosaic Cabin Leader when I’m 15 because I was really really shy at first. I never really spoke up for stuff but ever since I got to Mosaic I became like a pretty flower that bloomed. I never felt so good to be free.” Angelyssa, age 9, student
