Rainbow Routes is officially a nonprofit! Thanks to our fiscal sponsor, Community Initiatives, we’re well on our way to making our programs a reality. We're guided by an incredible founding board that brings expertise in DEIB strategy and organizational leadership, queer publishing and design, and global experiential education and community partnerships. Right now, we're working on two exciting pilot programs for 2026: 🌱 A Short-Term Academic Program focused on queer history and social movements. 💼 A Hybrid Internship Program featuring virtual internships during the semester and culminating in an in-person capstone experience.
Both formats are designed for up to 25 students and will center intentional cohort-building. We believe transformation happens not just through place, but through people — so each program will foster a strong, supportive community where students can reflect, learn, and grow together. Here’s how you can help: Each pilot program costs around $60,000 — about $2,400 per student. While we’re actively applying for grants and building partnerships to reduce cost barriers, individual donations are especially impactful at this early stage. Your support would directly fund our pilot programs and help us bring these programs to life. If a financial gift isn’t possible right now, there are still meaningful ways to support us, and every action makes a difference at this early stage. 💸 Make a Donation: Every dollar raised will help make our programs more affordable and accessible. 📣 Spread the Word: Know someone who might want to donate or get involved?
