Application Process

Relationships and connection are at the heart of this program. We are looking to bring together 6th and 7th grade students with a variety of lived experiences to form our founding middle school cohort. 

​

This application is about: 

• openness to grow and transform; vulnerability

• willingness to take action and contribute to a collective

• desire to feel connected to others and community

• aspires to create in order to solve problems

• express flexibility of thought, joy and playfulness

​

This application is not about: 

• outdoor experience 

• academic performance

​

When possible, our applications will be reviewed "blindly." Demographic information will be removed before our team reviews applications. 

​
