Learning for Real Life.
Nature Links offers free, live online classes for adults with disabilities, using nature and the world around us to explore bigger questions about ourselves, our relationships, our communities, and the changing world we live in.
Nature is where our conversations start, not where they end.
CURIOSITY
We ask big questions about the world around us.
From animals and nature to current events, relationships, science, and technology, we follow our curiosity, share ideas, and discover something new together.
COMMUNITY
Learning is better when we do it together.
Our online classes are a place to talk, listen, laugh, disagree, ask questions, and get to know people. Everyone brings something to the conversation.
CONNECTION
We connect what we're learning to our own lives.
We explore how the world around us connects to our relationships, choices, communities, and everyday lives, and we talk about using what we learn to better understand ourselves and others.
The goal isn’t just learning. It’s helping people feel capable, connected, and supported. Together, we practice communication, advocacy, relationship-building, and making thoughtful choices that matter in everyday life.
What Our Learning Looks Like:
Nature & Conservation
Wildlife, conservation, changing environments, and the surprising ways humans and nature shape each other.
Food & Everyday Life
Cooking, planning, trying new things, and building skills we can use at home and in our communities.
Life Skills & Relationships
Communication, trust, independence, healthy relationships, and navigating everyday life.
Curiosity & Discovery
Science, technology, AI, history, culture, podcasts, big questions… and wherever our curiosity takes us.
Civics & Community
What's happening in our communities and around the world, and how decisions, policies, and people make a difference.
Independence & Transitions
Exploring our strengths, making choices, building confidence, and figuring out what's next.
Nature Links Depends On Your Support!
Everyone should have a place to keep learning, connecting, and being curious, regardless of what they can afford.
That's why Nature Links classes are free for adults with disabilities. But free for our learners doesn't mean free to provide. Every class takes dedicated instructors, technology, thoughtful planning, new learning materials, and the support of people who believe this community matters.
We need your help to keep it that way.
Your donation helps us offer live classes three days a week, welcome new learners without worrying about their ability to pay, support our staff, and continue creating the curious, connected community our learners count on.
Any donation, be it $10 or $100, helps keep the next class free.
As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, donations to Nature Links are tax-deductible.
Thank you for helping us keep curiosity free and community open to everyone.
