Volunteer and staff mentors are the heart of WYP
WYP participants are happier, healthier and smarter, feel a sustained connection to nature, and are peaceful, self-aware community members.
That's because WYP mentors (staff and volunteers) lead and follow, supporting the child-centered experiences we offer.
WYP programs are possible because of volunteers. We'd love for you to consider joining our team of volunteers!

WYP is committed to learning and growing our ability to live the principles of diversity, equity, inclusion and justice.
