The Wonders in Nature-Wonders in Neighborhoods (W.I.N.-W.I.N.) Program
Denver Zoo is sad to report that this award-winning program ended on May 31, 2009 because of funding considerations.
The Wonders in Nature - Wonders in Neighborhoods (W.I.N.-W.I.N.) Program was developed by Denver Zoo and the Colorado Division of Wildlife in 1996 with a mission of fostering an appreciation of wildlife and its habitats and the conservation of these natural resources through a variety of wildlife-related learning experiences.
W.I.N.-W.I.N. touched the lives of tens of thousands of children, adults, staff, volunteers and organizations for thirteen years through classes in urban, socioeconomically diverse schools in the Denver metro area. The decision to end the program was not made lightly.
This was truly a partnership of many organizations, people, and foundations.
We thank the Colorado Division of Wildlife, our partner schools and partner sites, as well as foundations that provided financial support for all they did to make W.I.N.-W.I.N. such an enduring and successful program. We wish our partners the very best as they continue to positively affect the lives of children in our community.
Although W.I.N.-W.I.N. is no longer available, schools are encouraged to learn more about other education programs that Denver Zoo has to offer. For more information, please click here.
