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 include 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, and expanding students' world view through exposure to challenging situations and diverse environments.
