NOTES FROM OUR TRIPS
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Field Trip Foundation is a volunteer-based, non-profit organization dedicated to providing environmental educational field trips to low-income San Francisco Bay Area school children. Field Trip Foundation partners with local public elementary schools to connect their students with educational outdoor resources in the Bay Area. We focus our resources on schools with a majority of low-income students, as these schools have the least amount of resources for field trips.
Field Trip Foundation works closely with educators and integrates the field trips with class curriculums. To leverage existing community resources, we partner with respected environmental education organizations. |

History |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
In August 2000, founders Tina Conway and Amanda North came together with the dream of creating an organization that would bring the outdoors to underprivileged children. As both parents and outdoor enthusiasts, they believe all children should enjoy outdoor adventures; not just a lucky few. They also believe that children who have an enthusiasm and knowledge of the natural world become adults who take responsibility for preserving it. |
