Enviros Wilderness School Association
The Enviros Wilderness School Association is a Canadian nonprofit organization founded in 1976. It began as an initiative by a group of innovative social workers and youth who ventured into the Ghost Wilderness west of Calgary to establish a wilderness school[1][5]. The organization focuses on providing a wide array of trauma-informed social services aimed at enhancing the quality of family life in Alberta by promoting healthy individuals and families through experiential programs[3][4].
Mission and Programs
Enviros offers diverse programs designed to support vulnerable populations. These include services for children and teens requiring intensive live-in environments, young adults undergoing addiction treatment, individuals transitioning out of the foster care system, and families affected by Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD)[2]. Additionally, they offer respite care for children, youth, and their caregivers, and support for young adults experiencing homelessness[2].
Legal Status
The Enviros Wilderness School Association is registered as a nonprofit organization in Canada[3].
Activities and Impact
Since its inception, Enviros has expanded beyond its original wilderness-based approach to include a broad range of social services. Today, it supports youth and families managing various challenges, including addiction, mental illness, FASD, and developmental issues[5]. The organization's work is deeply rooted in community engagement and promoting positive outcomes for its clients through trauma-informed care[2][5].
History
Founded over four decades ago, Enviros has evolved significantly, maintaining its core mission while adapting to meet the changing needs of the communities it serves. Its history reflects a dedication to innovative and effective social service delivery[1][5].
