Braided Seeds is excited to offer a Sponsorship Program prioritizing Black, Latine, and Indigenous individuals, families, and communities based in Washington State. Every year we set aside a part of our annual budget to sponsor self-determined small scale activities and retreats that prioritize rest and reconnection to the land.
We need volunteers, English and Spanish speakers, who can commit 2 hours a week from April 9th to April 28th to review the Sponsorship Applications we received and help us determine awardees.
Volunteers must have reliable access to a computer/internet and attend an orientation on April 9th. BIPOC lived experiences are preferred.
All volunteers will receive 2 Seattle Aquarium tickets as token of appreciation.

Mission Statement
Braided Seeds provides opportunities for rest, restoration, and reconnection to the land, especially for communities of color, through increasing access, knowledge, and opportunities for outdoor recreation and wellness activities.
Description
Rest is our inheritance and we aim to provide an onramp to a renewed relationship with self and the outdoors through increasing access, knowledge, and opportunities for outdoor recreation and wellness activities.
What We've Done
Hiking and Backpacking: We’ve taken hundreds of youth on hikes, tent camping trips, and backpacking trips to parks across Washington state. Some of their favorites have included Dash Point State Park, Birch Bay State Park, Twin Falls Trailhead, Ozette Loop and Deception Pass. In 2022, we've spent over 250 hours on direct youth programming.
Sponsored Outdoor Retreats: Day Retreats or overnight, getting away from the noise and into the woods can be a revelation. Our sponsorship program offers funding for self-determined small scale activities and retreats that prioritize rest and reconnection to the land. We've provided more than 30 sponsorships, removing barriers to accessing cultural and environmental experiences for recipients.
Discover Pass and Gear Distribution: Last year, we distributed 500 discover Passes directly to folks statewide. 400 more passes will be distributed this year. We also offer a no-cost gear library so our community can experience the outdoors with the necessary equipment.
