The Alliance is excited to announce a semester-long partnership with the University of Maine at Farmington’s BUS 415 class, overseen by Workforce Development Leader Austin French. Four students will craft a business plan to diversify HPA’s revenue through mission-aligned earned income streams like outdoor education and guided experiences.​

This collaboration builds relationships and networking ties with the next generation of outdoor and business leaders. “This partnership exemplifies how collaboration fuels progress,” said Amanda Laliberte, Executive Director of High Peaks Alliance. “We’re thrilled to work with these UMF students, share our networks, and together create a sustainable future for our trails and lands.”
