While learning all of these important skills, WildWise teen programs include attention to the heart, soul, and mind of the adolescent. We hold our responsibility as Mentors sacred, and provide space for teens to explore their own internal wisdom, learn to communicate with intention, expand their world view, and help them remember the wonder in the world around them. WildWise holds council fire and our trauma informed mentors dive into the difficult topics and questions facing teens today.
