The Lifelines Supper Clubs are in-person, informal dinner events that will occur across the US over the course of the Lifelines program. Invites will be sent to a diverse group of individuals engaged across the humanitarian, government, funding/decision maker sectors. All will share a common interest in championing Earth science. The clubs will serve as a Lifelines microcosm, facilitating community building and discussion around common themes. Club dates and locations will be located around other Lifelines events and activities.

Our Lifelines Humanitarian Wayfinders are an annual cohort of two to three organizations invited to host, engage with, help shape and provide mentorship for a range of programs such as the humanitarian simulations, supper clubs, impact embassy, murals, and Humans from Space Data series. Wayfinders will represent a range of organizations with varying missions and objectives of their own that can help guide Lifelines priorities. Wayfinders will also receive financial support for their Lifelines efforts in the form of a stipend. This stipend will come from a pool of $100,000 to be shared across the 2-3 selected wayfinder organizations.
