Nourishing our Roots

Samara Strategies is a social venture that emerges from the learnings of Tree Street Youth in Lewiston — a place that shaped the values and principles behind Samara. Tree Street is where we learned and grew, and it continues to inspire our work. As a way of giving back, we commit a percentage of our fee-for-service revenue each year to support Tree Street, the place where we first learned to dream big, lead with integrity, and serve community.
