Ongoing education and inspiration to teach people where their tap water comes from.

In the summer of 2022, Nina walked more than 240 miles, tracing the Mokelumne River from her house in Oakland to the headwaters of where her drinking water comes from in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. She and her team are now working on making an education film about her journey and corresponding curriculum to bring into schools up and down the Mokelumne River watershed to teach students where their water comes from.

The curriculum will be live in Oakland high schools in the spring of 2026. In the years to come, the curriculum will spread to other high schools and impact hundreds of students. Ongoing support is needed to keep this program up and running. Donations cover costs of educator time, watershed maps, printing materials for classrooms, and more.
