Adopt-A-Class

The Adopt-A-Class program is a fundraising campaign that will bring WEN’s programs to more under-served and rural schools.
 
Why is this important?     
Outdoor education, especially field trips, are rare for most schools in western Montana. For many K-12 classes, our programs provide their first guided experience at the river’s edge (read teacher testimony). WEN’s programs inspire a new generation of watershed stewards and creative minds. Working together we can bring them outside…..one classroom, one child at a time. Many classrooms in more rural and under-served schools cannot afford WEN’s programs. Help us make our river programs available to all western Montana kids by adopting a class today. 
Adopt-A-Class funds:
1) Pre and post fieldtrip classroom presentations.
2) Field trips to rivers, streams and wetlands.
3) Innovative, hands-on learning experiences for students in urban, rural and tribal areas in western Montana.
 
ADOPT NOW!
WEN teaches river ecology to nearly 2,500 students each year. Most of these students are located in and around the Missoula Valley, however, teachers in more rural and/or under-served areas have requested our programs too. Due to funding and capacity constraints, WEN has been unable to reach these schools.
You may notice there are two different campaign goal amounts. This is due to the amount of preparation and travel from our base office in Missoula.
The $750 campaign goals are for target schools within a 30 mile travel buffer from our WEN office.
The $1500 campaign goals are for target schools within a 90 mile travel buffer from our WEN office.
