In ways large and small, people of all ages and all walks of life come to Fort Worden to find, or create, their place in the world. They learn in community with others. They are guided by the hearts and hands of mentors steeped in tradition, but urging new discoveries. Values are clarified. Awareness grows. Creation happens. Lives expand.
The Fort Worden Collaborative attracts and manages public and private sector resources to:
- Expand residential learning opportunities in the arts, environmental sciences, health and recreation, and historic preservation;
- Preserve, rehabilitate, and re-use historic buildings; and
- Increase and enhance public access to Fort Worden State Park.
Over the next five years the Collaborative will demonstrate its capacity to
- Secure public, institutional, and individual philanthropic support for identified capital development projects at the park.
- Attract new, high-visibility program partner(s) to Fort Worden, committed to providing residential learning opportunities year-round, and work with existing partners to attract program and financial resources needed to increase their residential programming.
