What Edventure More does

Edventure More (EDMO) is a California-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2003 that delivers out-of-school-time STEAM and social-emotional learning (SEL) programs to K-8 students through partnerships with public school districts. Its core offerings — summer camps, year-round afterschool enrichment, and the BRIDGE Apprenticeship Program — are deployed on-site at ~50 partner schools across 16 California districts, reaching approximately 16,750 children and families annually. The pedagogical foundation is the proprietary, trademarked "EDMO Method®," co-developed with the UC Berkeley Greater Good Science Center and built around the SPACE skills framework (Self-Awareness, Problem-Solving, Advocacy, Collaboration, Empathy).

EDMO operates a managed-services revenue model in which school districts contract EDMO to handle curriculum, staffing, recruitment, logistics, and compliance reporting. Programs are funded primarily through California's Expanded Learning Opportunities Program (ELO-P), ASES, and CASP state/federal funding streams, making programs low- or no-cost to participating families. FY2025 total income was $17,304,643 (pending audit), supplemented by charitable contributions from individuals, corporations, and foundations. The organization has 51-100 employees and is governed by a Board of Directors; it holds no equity funding and operates as an independent nonprofit with no parent entity.

The go-to-market motion is enterprise field sales targeting district administrators through partnership inquiries and multi-year contracts, with a secondary self-serve enrollment channel for families at existing partner schools via enroll.edmo.org. EDMO invests in policy advocacy (California Afterschool Network Leadership Team, ELO-P funding protection) and workforce development (BRIDGE Apprenticeship with Hartnell College, partnership with Butte County Office of Education) to sustain its talent pipeline and policy environment.
