Audrey's Mission: Fund Team's Backpacking

My name is Audrey and I am one of the current students in the Team Academy. We need your help to raise money for future backpacking trips!

The Team Academy is a one of a kind public school alternative, outdoor education program. It runs out of Archie Williams High School. It is an experiential learning model that combines the following: Backpacking, hiking, community service, internships, rock climbing, wilderness medicine, and academic courses in a cohort model environment. It is the ONLY public school program of its kind. Friends of the Team Program is a non-profit that helps support Team so we can keep backpacking year after year. This year we DOUBLED in size and we need your help to keep Teamies backpacking for years to come.

To me, Team has been a very welcoming and supportive community. It is why I came to Archie Williams instead of Tam High. It has helped me to learn how to enjoy coming to school and help me continue to connect with nature and my friends. I have formed close bonds with the kids on Team and I’m so excited to go on my very first backpacking trip with them. I’m raising money so that I can go to Joshua tree this year, for the senior trips next year and to keep Team running so that all the future classes of Team can continue to backpack.

Our school district does not pay for any of our trips. We must fundraise for all gear, wilderness guides, transportation, permits and more! We couldn’t do this without your support. We hope to keep Team alive for decades to come and can only do it with your support. KEEP TEAMIES BACKPACKING and help us to continue to grow and gain infinite wisdom from the wild! Even $5 can make a difference

THANK YOU!
