About Us

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
