Create a Habitat For Learning

This Big Day of Giving, we are calling upon our community to help us create a habitat for learning.

In our third-grade Classrooms Unleashed program students become ecologists, solving the mystery of why the deer population is decreasing, by learning about ecosystems, resilience, and environmental change. Students take a field trip to River Bend Park to explore local ecosystem connections and look for evidence of environmental change. This program teaches students that our home belongs to all creatures- big and small- and it is our responsibility to restore and preserve these habitats so that the species that reside in Sacramento may continue to thrive there for years to come. 

Our mission to inspire youth through science and outdoor education is more critical now than ever. Moments when our mission mirrors the current affairs remind us why we do this work. We have the power to shape the next generation of problem-solvers and stewards of our natural world, and that mission gives us strength to adapt and overcome. 

Your generous support to our Student Scholarship Fund will vitally support our outdoor education programs, illuminating possibilities and growth for countless young minds.

With your donation, you’re not just giving funds; you’re nurturing curiosity, fostering connections with nature, and empowering youth to become stewards of our planet. Every step they take in the great outdoors is a step towards a brighter, more sustainable future – and you’re right there beside them, guiding the way with your continued generosity.

From all of us at Sierra Nevada Journeys, we thank you for believing in the power of outdoor education.

With heartfelt appreciation,

Sierra Nevada Journeys
