Our Anti-Oppression Commitment
Wonder Woods acknowledges that systems of oppression, such as structural racism, classism, and capitalism, have created conditions in which not all families have equitable access to a privately-run, fully outdoors, mission-driven program like ours–one that prioritizes kinship with nature, child-led free play, and respect for the autonomy and personhood of children. We know many families are not able to enroll their children in our program, and we believe that access to capital should not restrict anyone’s access to the abundance we all share: nature, community, and care.
We are committed
to addressing the racial, social, and economic inequality that affects Black, Indigenous, and other People of Color; queer and trans people; as well as people with disabilities or significant economic barriers. We can do this, in part by offering flexible payment plans, partial scholarships, and skill trades for tuition. We hope you will ask for the assistance you need to attend Wonder Woods, and we will do our best to provide as much assistance as we can each year, made possible by individual donors to our program. As we continue to grow our fundraising program (powered by volunteers in our community), we hope to continue to expand our scholarship offerings.
