## Description

Cottonwood Institute is a 501(c)(3) educational nonprofit that connects young people with nature and inspires them to protect it. Based in Denver, Colorado, the organization combines outdoor experiences, environmental education, and community action to help students build confidence, practical skills, and a sense of purpose. Its programs encourage youth to explore environmental issues, strengthen their connection with one another, and become changemakers in their communities.

Cottonwood offers in-school programs, including an elective class where students learn outdoor skills and take action on environmental concerns. Out-of-school and summer programs provide three-to-five-day thematic outdoor experiences during school breaks. For alumni, year-long environmental education and community leadership opportunities include hikes and volunteer projects. The organization also lists field and community programs, consulting and professional development, and resources for instructors.

Cottonwood Institute invites families, partners, and supporters to get involved through volunteering, events, and donations. Contributions help students learn beyond the classroom and take part in meaningful outdoor and community experiences.
