About the Program Wayfinders on the Hudson provides nature-based, social-emotional learning opportunities for children and youth. The programs focus on nature connection, community building, social action, and coming of age. Our program is open to all youth ages 2nd-12th grade.

At Wayfinders on the Hudson, we integrate nature-based, collaborative, interdisciplinary project-based learning (PBL) and thoughtful self-reflection with high quality mentoring. Our mission is to support youth in their evolution as they grow from a child into a teenager by instilling nature connection, interdependence, confidence, leadership skills, and self-awareness, ultimately resulting in designing and building a life in which they thrive, and have the skills to engage in repairing the world. 

Our Team The most important part of any job is who you’re working with. Wayfinders on the Hudson is a startup program. Our team is FUN, eco-centric, integral, innovative and collaborative. We take risks and sometimes they flop, but we find ourselves constantly learning, and improving upon who we are and what we deliver, and our passion for bringing this program to life takes us into the unknowns with joy.
