Mission
The Motherline engenders a culture of repair and restoration by empowering women to cultivate a place based planet protective economy through arts agriculture youth education and inter-generational connection. Our youth programs RiverStars and Cultivate Kids teach rural youth of all ages skills in dance theater movement and agriculture. We hold community events such as our Clean Sweep trash clean up on public lands and educate around positive land stewardship. We are a newly formed non profit but our youth programs RiverStars and Cultivate Kids have been fiscally sponsored by other organizations in past years providing free beneficial and educational activities to rural youth and their families in under resourced Josephine County.
Program accomplishments
- RiverStars & Planet Dance provide art dance movement and theater intergenerational and youth classes in Josephine County Oregon free of charge to remove barriers to the high population of low income families in our region. These classes take place September through April on Fridays filling the empty space created when our local school district cut the 5th day from the school week. From April though September we provide educational programming for youth at Cultivate Kids a program that we operate at the local farmers market. These programs teach skills provide meaningful educational activities and programming and help our youth connect to the place they are living.Expenses $5,825 · grants $6,600
- The Clean Sweep is a program to clean up trash in local public lands and teach intergenerational skills for caretaking and land stewardship to our community. We host a monthly clean up day and invite volunteers to hike in beautiful places while we clean up trash that has been dumped illegally and return our public lands to useful spaces for our local population and tourists to enjoy. We also work on educational information and campaigns to help prevent future dumping and encourage a culture of care in the Illinois Valley of Josephine County. 50 plus local volunteers join in each clean ups and we feed them lunch. We provide free trash vouchers to the local family coalition to encourage people to dump their trash in appropriate designated facilities. Note: This program along with our youth programs was fiscally sponsored by a different organization for part of 2025 and the revenue and expenses that all of our programs operate on will be higher in 2026 as many expenses that we will pay in 2026 were paid by another organization in 2025 while we went through the process of applying for 501c3 status and setting up our non profit.grants $5,000
