Other ways to give

Volunteer, donate gear or sponsor a season

Forest School for All runs on neighbors. Glass jars become paint pots, outgrown snow pants keep another child warm, and an hour of your time can carry a whole session.

Gear & supplies

Donate the good stuff

Everything we use is carried into the forest and back out again in our wheelbarrow, so sturdy, simple materials go a long way. Clean, gently used items are perfect.

  • Glass jars
  • Tarps
  • Rope
  • Kids’ rain gear
  • Kids’ snow pants & boots
  • Hand tools
  • Scrap wood
  • Magnifiers

Before dropping anything off, reach out so we can tell you what we need most right now and where to meet.

Volunteer

Lend a hand in the woods

We are volunteer-run from top to bottom. Volunteers help guide tool use, set up and pack down sessions, staff community events, build and repair gear, and support behind the scenes with photos, social media and fundraising.

Teens and older students are welcome too. Staten Island Academy students built the table for our mud kitchen.
