Summary
About the Org
We are a mission-driven organization that provides 3-day, 2-night outdoor education programs free of charge to low-income/underserved 4th-6th graders, along with a summer leadership camp for teens, and family weekend hikes. We are also a small, tightly knit, & exciting team. Our jobs are the best, and so are the people who work here!
With equity as a cornerstone of Vida Verde’s mission, our entire staff intentionally and actively engages in Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (JEDI) work. We understand and agree that this work is critical in helping young people access high-quality, culturally relevant and inclusive nature education experiences; experiences that will translate into positive outcomes in their traditional classrooms. (read our full JEDI statement below)
The SLP (Student Leadership Project)
This is the next level of Vida Verde that (school year participants) students have been asking for! The SLP is a one-week camping trip for high school aged Vida Verde “alumni” - and their peers - designed to empower them to be leaders in their communities and stewards of the natural world.
