Give, mentor, offer land
Walk With Us
Every path is funded by donations from the village.
Give to Wild Souls Pathways
Both Wild Souls Pathways paths are funded by donations from the village: families, friends and partners. Gifts cover the food, gear and insurance a year on the land needs. Wild Souls Pathways is a 501(c)(3) public charity, EIN 41-5193791, so gifts are tax deductible as the law allows.

Mentor
The village always needs grown women and men who will speak honestly first, so the young people can follow. Every mentor completes a California Department of Justice Live Scan background check.
