Donate to the Program
As a regional leader in outdoor education since 1970, WES has served thousands of students but the program may come to an end as a result of the deficits in the state education budget. Visionaries are needed right now.
Monetary contributions and in-kind donations are both welcome and will help us reduce our bottom line and reserve funds for student programming. Contact us directly at (530) 225-0111 if you can make an in-kind donation (see our wish list below). If you have a monetary contribution, click on the "Donate Now" button below.
Be a part of something great that will inspire our children and grandchildren today!
