Vida Verde is a nonprofit that promotes educational
equity by providing free, overnight, environmental learning experiences
for students who don’t otherwise get the opportunity. Vida Verde
was founded by two Colorado College alumni, and will have four CC alumni
on staff this coming school year!
Come on out to this secluded coastal retreat center and spend a couple
hours working to improve this site while catching up and connecting
with CC alumni and parents. There are many different tasks to choose,
from light duty to heavy duty! After, take a walk in the redwoods, soak
in the hot tub, commune with the goats, and grill up some food with
us!
