If we don’t provide opportunities for children to love nature, how can we expect them to grow into adults that will conserve nature?

1. Plant seeds of hope, awareness, understanding and commitment to our wild places.
2. Inspire a truly joyful exploration of the earth, life and learning for all children.

SPECIFIC AREAS OF NEED INCLUDE:

• Many many extra staff hours required to accommodate CORONAVIRUS procedures, guidelines, policies and training.
• Staff Training! Amazing, skillful and heartful leaders! To mentor the child nature connection, natural human development, social and emotional guidance and place based learning. Not a small feat! 
• Van rentals or purchase to create more equitable offerings
• Scholarships to support diverse access and reach families in need
• Program materials and supplies

Ventura Wild is a true catalyst for change in our community. Our staff are college educated, trained outdoor educators that work with multiple organizations providing mentoring to children and families.

We hope that everyone will find a way to contribute to Ventura Wild’s scholarship and staff training funds.

Since 2009 Ventura Wild has successfully provided programs to thousands of children and parents from Ojai, Ventura and neighboring communities.
