Mission & Philosophy
We truly believe "it takes a village," but we worry that there aren't many villages left. So, we have set out to build a village of individuals bound in our commitment to caring for one another and for the planet.
Through a variety of program opportunities, Wild Communities Foundation provides community members an opportunity to unplug and reconnect with their inner-wild-child in the wild jungles of Hawai’i and the wide open spaces of Montana. We believe that by rewilding ourselves and our communities, we restore sacred ancestral relationships between human and non-human relatives, and we forge authentic pathways to explore and grow.
Our mission is to cultivate an empowered, deeply connected, multi-generational community of wayfinders who will co-create an environmentally and socially sustainable future.
We hope to impart a lifelong conservation ethic and profound appreciation for the preservation of wilderness areas on this planet because open space, dark nights and quiet moments are necessary to our survival as human beings.
Each individual engaged in a Wild Communities Foundation program will:
Develop transformational, lifelong relationships with both humans and non-humans
Develop a personal stewardship ethic and community-minded value system
Develop authentic self-confidence, integrity, and grit
Nurture within themselves and in others the Wild Communities Foundation 10 Core Traits
