Welcome to the Woods Project
Our Mission
The Woods Project seeks to develop leadership capacity and life skills in low income youth through a series of outdoor education/environmental awareness programs at wilderness sites in the United States.
Our program goals:
- Preparing students for college and beyond by developing life and leadership skills through wilderness exploration
- Encouraging interest in science and the environment through focused outdoor education programming and hands-on learning opportunities
- Expanding students' world view through exposure to challenging situations and diverse environments
- We are people from all walks of life who love the wilderness and the powerful impact it can make in the lives of low income youth
- We engage students in a wide range of hands-on activities related to science, environmental education, and wilderness challenge
- To empower these young adults to reach new heights
