Corporate Partner Spotlight: The North Face Explore Fund

With the goal of inspiring and enabling the next generation of explorers, The North Face Explore Fund supports organizations that encourage youth outdoor participation by creating connections of children to nature, increasing access to both front and backcountry recreation and providing education for both personal and environmental health. The Winter Wildlands Alliance SnowSchool is a proud recipient of this fund for the 2010 grant cycle. As a winter educational outreach program, SnowSchool promotes a strong connection between kids and the outdoors. As we lead students through our winter wonderland we hope to create future stewards by instilling a love of nature, winter and our natural landscapes.

We commend The North Face for supporting SnowSchool and other vital outdoor education programs. For more information on The Explore Fund, please visit www.explorefund.org.
