Rippleffect Maine

Promoting outdoor education and leadership development for Maine youth.

Rippleffect promotes youth development and leadership through adventure, healthy communities, and sustainable living. The organization has 30 school and community partners and has served an estimated 3,500 youth since its inception.


ROCC Project

Our partnership with Rippleffect included contributing to their Rippleffect Outdoor Community Center (ROCC) project. In collaboration with Portland Public Schools and the City of Portland, the ROCC is located on six woodland acres near the Amanda C. Rowe Elementary School and includes ropes and rock-climbing courses, camp platforms, and yurt classrooms.

The project will deepen Rippleffect’s connections with the Portland community, expand offerings, and further their vision of providing all Maine youth with equitable access to outdoor education.
