Foster the Earth is a small nonprofit based in Carlsbad, California, focused on helping vulnerable children and young adults in the foster system reengage with their curiosity by introducing them to outdoor environments. The organization runs experiences that include hiking, developing wilderness skills, and backpacking to build self-worth and practical life competencies while fostering a sense of awe for the natural world. Through these experiences, it aims to cultivate interest in preserving wild places and to encourage participants to take on stewardship roles.

Its services target foster youth and young people aging out of the foster system, providing access to outdoor adventures that might not otherwise be available. Operating within the nonprofit and environmental-education sector, Foster the Earth seeks to broaden participation in conservation among groups that are underrepresented in the environmental movement. Although anchored in California, the organization coordinates programs with a national reach, expanding opportunities for underserved youth to connect with wilderness.
