LAND-BASED PROGRAMS - THE PRACTICE OF COUNCIL IS A CORNERSTONE OF TOF PROGRAMMING. COUNCIL CREATES A PLACE FOR DEEP LISTENING AND COMMUNICATION THAT LENDS ITSELF TO RESOLVING CONFLICTS AND DISCOVERING THE DEEPER, OFTEN UNEXPRESSED NEEDS OF INDIVIDUALS AND ORGANIZATIONS. COUNCIL PROVIDES A COMPREHENSIVE MEANS FOR CO-VISIONING AND MAKING DECISIONS IN A GROUP CONTEXT. LAND STEWARDSHIP PROGRAMS PROVIDE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR MEANINGFUL CONNECTION WITH PLACE IN A COMMUNITY CONTEXT.OUR YOUTH RITES OF PASSAGE PROGRAMS SUPPORT YOUTH TO MARK TIMES OF SIGNIFICANCE WHILE PROVIDING A RICH BACKGROUND THAT HELPS TO FRAME THESE EXPERIENCES. FURTHERMORE, THESE EXPERIENCES ARE GROUNDED WITHIN GROUP INTERACTION AND RELATIONSHIP, WHICH ENCOURAGES YOUTH TO CONNECT WITH EACH OTHER WHILE EXPLORING THE DEPTHS OF THEIR PERSONAL SELVES. FOR ONE TO FIVE DAY IN-PERSON AND ONLINE RETREATS, YOUTH PARTICIPATE IN COUNCIL, ART, PERSONAL INTROSPECTION, AND LAND STEWARDSHIP PROJECTS. BY COMBINING THESE ACTIVITIES IN A UNIQUE WAY, THE FOUNDATION PROVIDES A SPACE IN WHICH STUDENTS EXPLORE THE SIGNIFICANT TRANSITIONS OF THEIR LIVES, CLARIFY PERSONAL VALUES, EXPLORE ISSUES OF DIVERSITY, AND DEEPEN THEIR RELATIONSHIP TO NATURE, THEMSELVES, AND EACH OTHER.
