Get Ready for Dawa's

Youth Nature School

Growing the Next Generation of Family Medicine Keepers

Today’s young people are spending less time outdoors, experiencing higher levels of stress and anxiety, disconnection, and chronic health challenges, more than ever before. Many have never learned where food comes from, how to care for their bodies, or how to connect with nature as a source of healing and wisdom.

​

Dawa Youth Nature School is an interactive nature and wellness leadership program that helps youth reconnect with themselves, their community, and the natural world. Through hands on

experiences, students learn ancestral foodways, gardening, foraging, body awareness, plant medicine, food preservation, and healthy leadership skills.

​

Participants don’t just learn about wellness, they practice it. They plant seeds, make herbal remedies, prepare nourishing foods, explore nature, and develop tools they can bring home to their families.

The Outcome

Youth leave with practical wellness skills, greater confidence, stronger leadership abilities, and a deeper connection to nature. Our goal is to help young people become Family Medicine Keepers—youth who understand how to care for themselves, support their families, and contribute to healthier communities for generations to come. Nature is our first medicine. When young people reconnect with nature, they reconnect with their power.
