About this organization
Mission
To create wilderness education and exploration experiences that develop critical behaviors needed for disadvantaged students to achieve success in school and life.
About
The Woods Project provides Houston high school students from low-income communities with transformative, experiential learning opportunities in the outdoors which are designed to help them develop the life and leadership skills (grit/perseverance, adaptability, critical thinking, zest/curiosity, social intelligence, independence/self-control, and environmental awareness) that correlate strongly with success in school, the workplace and life. TWP offers three main programs: weekly after-school clubs, weekend overnight camping trips, and two-week wilderness immersion summer trips to national parks and other comparable outdoor areas. On average, 73% of participants are Latino, 15% are African-American, and the remainder are of mixed race or other ethnicities. The Woods Project serves nearly 700 students and provides over 3000 student nights in the wilderness per year
