Youth Program Federal Way - Shyan Selah Foundation

Join The Connect to Nature Youth Program

The Connect to Nature program will facilitate cultivating mentorship and life skills for young people of color and provide an environment where such programming can take place in a natural or outdoor setting. The grant from DNR will also help the foundation to provide workshops, field trips, and other events that support the goal of improving the overall health and life-skills of youth and young adults interested in nature, environmental health and studies, wildlife, and outdoor recreation - all free of charge to qualifying participants.
