Outdoor Access Fund
We encourage students, families, and school groups who need financial support to apply by following the instructions below.
The Salish Sea School believes every student should have access to meaningful, hands-on learning experiences outdoors, on the water, and along the shores of the Salish Sea.
These experiences can spark curiosity about marine science, build confidence and connection, inspire care for local beaches and wildlife, and introduce students to future opportunities in conservation, marine trades, and maritime careers.
We are committed to reducing financial barriers and making our programs welcoming and accessible to students from all backgrounds and experiences.
Financial assistance is made possible through the generous support of donors, grants, and community partners who help expand access to Salish Sea learning experiences.
