Partnerships add immensely to our organization and to the programing we offer our scholars.
We would like to especially acknowledge NOLS for their partnership and ongoing support. A leader in wilderness education and leadership training, NOLS has been STEP’s expedition partner since our inception – working with over 250 STEP students in our signature 3-week leadership expedition in the wilderness of Alaska.
Thank you, NOLS, for joining us as a partner in our work!
““I thought my STEP/NOLS expedition would be a nice trip to Alaska – like girl scouts. I couldn’t have been any more ignorant if I had said there would be zebras in Alaska. I did more self-discovery in those three weeks than I could have ever imagined possible.””
We are appreciative of all the organizations who provide support in so many ways.

““As a school superintendent, I am always looking for opportunities for students to move beyond the classroom walls in their education. STEP provides a safe, demanding opportunity for high school students to become self-reliant and view the world differently as they prepare for life beyond high school. I whole-heartedly encourage our students to apply to STEP.”
