In Nicaragua students support the development of Grow Biointensive Mini-Farms at schools that serve as outdoor environmental classrooms and produce food for school lunches. In Ecuador, students support local eco-clubs in their efforts to reforest the surrounding community, planting approximately 25,000 trees per year. Students contextualize their work in a global environmental movement, and learn skills that they can take home to their own communities. 213032 165328 South to North Exchange: Each January, scholarships enable student representatives from our partner communities to come to California to participate in our local exchange. Student ambassadors visit each of GSEs project sites and get involved with local students in the planning, maintenance, and expansion of projects. Students stay with host families and engage in activities focused on collaborative projects with GSE students in Northern California. GSE works to break stereotypes and remove cultural barriers through building friendships, working together and representing our local cultures. The exchange reunites friends, brings new momentum to local projects, and often is the first time that visiting students have been to another country. 209874 165328 GSE Eco-action Programs: GSE works in three global communities (USA, Nicaragua, and Ecuador) engaging local students in year-round education and action to address climate change, food security and ecological degradation. GSE's unique program facilitates project-based learning rooted in solving urgent ecological problems. GSE works with over 4,000 high school, university, and middle school-aged students, as well as with the educators, administrators and communities supporting their schools. We believe schools can be central hubs of community engagementby supporting student growth and leadership, families, business leaders, nonprofits, and other community members invest in the health and sustainability of the community for years to come. 1229667 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false true true false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 10 0 false 9 false false false false false false true true false false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 8 7 true false false false false false false true false false false true true true true true true true true false CA X X Rachel Katz 6318136362 Post Office Box 4456 Berkeley CA 94704 Christopher Szecsey Chairman 10.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Lucas Oshun Executive Direc 40.00 0.00 X X 74192 0 0 Lowell Haky Vice Chair 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jasper Oshun Director 10.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Genevieve Taylor Director 10.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Steve Gomberg Chairman 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Ben Gordon Treasurer 15.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Deanne Clough Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 David Rust Secretary 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 74192 0 false false false 0 248867 248867 Contract revenue 4785 4785 Miscellaneous 24755 24755 Program Income 1102184 1102184 1131724 14 14 0 0 0 0 109291 22049 87242 0 13086 17191 -4105 -4105 0 1463742 1127619 14 0 0 0 0 74192 37096 22258 14838 0 245221 164484 40670 40067 0 9882 3632 4538 1712 31469 11565 14452 5452 0 0 1040 1040 0 0 0 12169 12169 7747 7747 2019 2019 11395 11395 0 8898 3270 4086 1542 2529 2529 0 0 0 0 3044 3044 10526 3868 4834 1824 International program costs 924625 924625 us program costs 42322 42322 Marketing and outreach 37696 13853 17312 6531 Other operating expenses 3328 3328 5911 4641 1006 264 1434013 1229667 112200 92146 153762 55257 0 0 7500 0 0 0 0 10212 37805 3044 34761 0 0 0 0 0 153762 107730 3107 26317 3107 26317 X 150655 62913 18500 150655 81413 153762 107730 X 29729 -98971 X false false false X 34166 43849 129824 248867 456706 105839 432207 898085 1224561 2660692 0 0 0 140005 476056 1027909 1473428 3117398 0 0 3117398 0 0 0 0 140005 476056 1027909 1473428 3117398 X 0.00000 0.00000 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 37805 3044 34761 34761 true Nicaragua and Ecuador 0 3 Teaching and reforestation 0 3 3 false false false false false false X X X X X false Fall Benefit Event 109291 109291 22049 109291 109291 22049 22049 87242 Lucas Oshun ED Home rental false Form 990, Part VI, Line 2: Description of Business or Family Relationship of Officers, Directors, Et Board member is sibling of executive director Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b: Form 990 Review Process GSE provides a third-party accounting firm with all necessary documents to complete Form 990.
