Get outside with Y-WE Nature Connections every month and dive deeper into your relationship with the land! Learn to listen and speak to the plants and animals though art, a practice of gratitude and reciprocity.
We will learn survival skills — physical and emotional — as well as participate in environmental stewardship and lead activities for the group. Supported by the natural world, a community of peers, and adventurous mentors, we develop a reciprocal relationship with our environment and experience how we are part of nature, not separate from it. We will work as a team as we prepare all year for a backpacking trip at the end of the school year!
Beginners are welcome. Food, gear, transportation, and more are provided by Y-WE.
Applications coming soon for Fall 2025!
Open to young women and gender expansive youth ages 13-19. As with all Y-WE programs, all excursions are free to attend!
