The Woods Project is an awesome organization that gives disadvantaged students opportunities to learn and develop life skills through outdoor experiences. I first got involved with The Woods Project through teaching high school in Houston. I continue to volunteer as a summer backpacking trip leader.

The Walk for The Woods Project is their main fundraiser and takes place in the East End of Houston, which is where many of the students involved in The Woods Project live. It also happens to be where I first taught high school.

If you want to give money to something awesome, different, and worthwhile, then definitely give some money to The Woods Project.
