  • Vida Verde Nature Education Program

    VIDA VERDE NATURE EDUCATION IS THE ONLY 100% SCHOLARSHIP-BASED ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION PROGRAM FOR STUDENTS FROM HISTORICALLY MARGINALIZED POPULATIONS IN THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA. 99% OF THE STUDENTS WE WORK WITH ARE YOUTH OF COLOR, OVER 85% QUALIFY FOR FREE/REDUCED-PRICE LUNCH, AND NONE WOULD OTHERWISE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO PARTICIPATE IN A SIMILAR PROGRAM DUE TO COST. DURING OUR 2023-2024 FISCAL YEAR, VIDA VERDE HOSTED 30 CLASSES OF 4TH-6TH GRADE STUDENTS FOR OUR THREE-DAY, TWO-NIGHT CORE PROGRAM, IN ADDITION TO 50 TEENS WHO PARTICIPATED IN THE WEEK-LONG CAMPING TRIPS OF OUR SUMMER LEADERSHIP PROJECT. THESE PROGRAMS ARE SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED TO POSITIVELY AND POWERFULLY IMPACT STUDENTS AND THEIR CONNECTION TO THE OUTDOORS, ACADEMICS, AND SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL LEARNING. EACH TRIP DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR IS AN ACTIVITY-PACKED EXPERIENCE THAT TAKES PLACE AT OUR 100-ACRE CAMP AND FARM, AND AT NEARBY STATE PARKS AND BEACHES ALONG THE SAN MATEO COUNTY COASTLINE.
