Muddy Sneakers Inc

In late 2023, the North Carolina Department of Instruction updated the 5th-grade science standards, and Muddy Sneakers promptly updated its curriculum. Thanks to the support of the Dogwood Trust and our new partnership options, Muddy Sneakers significantly expanded its programming in the Mountains region. In the Piedmont, programming grew organically, extending into the Greensboro and Winston-Salem areas.

Overall, in the 2023-2024 season, Muddy Sneakers served 4,159 students and 186 teachers in 64 schools across 21 districts in 16 counties and the Qualla Boundary.
