Free Will Organization

A learning place where we share a passion for children, animals and the earth, through farm based education and activities.

Free Will Organization is dedicated to the young people in Valley Springs and Calaveras County. We are a fellowship, designed and vectored to mentor the youth toward success; socially, physically and educationally. At Free Will we inspire by giving opportunities with hands on experiences connecting outdoor nature and animals. Our programs and events range from agriculture, instructional workshops,

sports and more. We exist to help and guide youth to discover their passions and help build confidence, personal and professional skills, while creating friends and memories that will last them a lifetime. These activities serve to encourage creative thinking, motivation, enhancing abilities and responsibility thus providing an atmosphere of learning at a deeper level. Further, our program will serve to free pre-teens and teens from their video games, computers, and cellphones, and push them back into the outdoors, the real world; a place where they can commune with animals and nature. We invite you to help us to continue our work.

We’re excited to invite the community out to our upcoming Garden Day at Unity Ranch 🌱

This is a hands on experience for kids to learn how to grow their own food, understand where it comes from, and connect with nature in a real way.

Kids will plant, learn, create, and take something home with them. We’ll also have healthy snacks and a positive environment focused on growth, learning, and community.

This program is made possible through local support and is part of our mission to give back to the next generation through Free Will Organization

Spots are limited so make sure to sign up early
