Donate to Youth Education

Can you remember back to a young age when you first connected with nature? 
Using nature as a classroom, our Education Programs foster understanding and appreciation of wildlife and natural processes, encouraging children to contribute personally in everyday life to the protection of our precious wild ecosystems. Whether it’s journaling in the shade of a giant redwood tree, watching sea lions from a kayak, exploring tidepools, or watching a condor take flight, our programs generate memories that will last a lifetime.
Access to nature and the outdoors is a right. We break down barriers. Since 1992 Ventana Wildlife Society focuses on providing meaningful outdoor experiences to youth.  We are dedicated to providing those opportunities for all children to experience the awe and excitement of the natural world, setting them on their own journey of stewarding our planet. When people have meaningful outdoor experiences their health, quality of life, and social well-being improve, and in turn, communities become stronger and more sustainable. Everyone deserves the opportunity to enjoy time outdoors, because when people connect with nature we all benefit. 
Your support is crucial so that we can continue to:
  • Provide meaningful outdoor experiences in nature to 1,000+ youth per year
  • Overcome transportation, and other barriers to nature, so that everyone regardless of wealth can access the outdoors​
  • Encourage the next generation to care for and protect the environment
