Have you seen this barn?

Wilderness Youth Project is seeking space for occasional use by our nature-based mentoring programs. Today we operate our programs out of our vans, and from time to time we would love a place to go to get warm and dry while continuing to work on our skills and crafts. As kids get older we offer more focused projects, such as:  harvesting reeds and making baskets; making our own fire-by-friction kit; leather work; hand-made beads; and many more.  Some of these projects can't be completed in a single, three-hour program, and a site that we can leave materials at and return to for two or three programs will offer a sense of continuity for our participants that we currently don't have.

We wish to find:

• A barn on (at least) one acre of land within 20 minutes of Goleta/Santa Barbara
• Permission to visit the barn with 12-36 youth
• A place to store our works in progress

We offer:

• A great group of young people learning and growing with their mentors
• Service Projects
• Leaving a place better than we find it
• Open to discussion of how we might make this a mutually beneficial arrangement
