Green Steps Sponsorship

Bringing Nature-Led Learning to Every Family

The Green Steps Sponsorship is our way of helping more families connect with nature and community through Mindful Wild Steps. Sponsored spots, funded by either Mindful Wild Steps or community contributions, create opportunities for families to join us, grow and thrive.

How It Works

1. Available Sponsorship Spots

  • Each year, we offer a mix of spots funded by Mindful Wild Steps and the community.

  • Progress bars track how close we are to opening new community-funded spots.

2. Claiming a Spot

  • Once a sponsorship is fully funded, it becomes Available for claiming.

  • Families interested in a spot can click apply to let me know why they’d love to join.

3. Community Contributions

  • Contributions can be made to our sponsorship fund below.

  • You can contribute as little as you’d like or cover the cost of a full spot. Every contribution, big or small, adds up to help fund a spot for a family who may not otherwise have the money to join.

  • Every time the fund reaches its goal, a new spot opens for a family to claim.
