Trekkers HistoryTrekkers began in 1994 as a volunteer community initiative for students living in Thomaston, a small fishing community in mid-coast Maine. In 1996, students from two other surrounding communities were included. During the first five years, Trekkers primarily worked with 7th and 8th grade students. With the expansion of a year-round program implemented in 1999, Trekkers now offers programs to local students from 7th to 12th grades living year-round in the communities of Cushing, St. George, and Thomaston. Trekkers officially became its own non-profit 501 (c) 3 organization in 2000 and currently serves over 150 students during its program year.
