We loved partnering with the West Virginia Grant Resource Centers to bring a second Grant Training 101 workshop to Mountaineer Country! Thank you to everyone who contributed to another successful day of training! Special shoutout to our Destination Development Coordinators, Stella Hehnly and Kathryn Carter for making this happen!

Yesterday, Stella Hehnly and I wrapped up Leave No Trace training throughout 5th-grade classes in Monongalia, Preston, and Taylor Counties. Over the past 6 months, we certified 1,200+ students across 18 schools as official Youth Outdoor Stewards and awarded them certificates and ethics cards to remind them of the 7 LNT principles. Visit Mountaineer Country CVB and the West Virginia Department of Tourism had a goal of giving these kids a taste of outdoor responsibility while showing off the amazing job opportunities in tourism and it was definitely a success. Seeing the kids get excited about tourism and taking care of our outdoors was one of the most rewarding experiences yet. Can't wait to start training the next group of 5th graders!!🌳🍂

Dive into the world of grant writing at Visit Mountaineer Country’s “Grants 101 Workshop.” Featuring expert speakers from the West Virginia Grant Resource Centers, this day-long workshop will guide you through the essentials: finding grants, crafting compelling narratives, funding source opportunities, sustainability, and so much more!    Whether you’re a seasoned grant writer or attended last year, this year’s workshop promises fresh perspectives and invaluable takeaways.
