The Next Step for Origin
I am excited to announce that I received a letter in the mail from the IRS officially declaring Origin Expeditions as a tax exempt organization under the Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3)! This has been a highly anticipated moment as it opens many doors for the organization.
Moving Forward
I’m writing this post to communicate my vision for Origin Expeditions effectively. While I’m not planning on Origin ever becoming as big as a program like NOLS or Outward Bound, I do intend to see it constantly evolve and adapt. As I mentioned in the previous post, I am excited to see a community form around this project, one in which each member has a role to play. Whether they be a student, guide, parent, donor, or friend, I am interested to hear any feedback folks might have to facilitate the progression of this program—leave a comment if you feel inclined.
The Creation of Origin
My name is Joseph Napolitan and I am the founder of what I now call Origin Expeditions. My intention for the blog is to develop a platform with which others and myself can communicate developments within the organization, explore relevant topics and hold discussions amongst members of the community. With this particular post, I intend to share a little bit about my story and how my idea for this program came to be.
