Friends of Tahoe Truckee Waldorf

Tahoe Truckee Waldorf is the 501c3 non-profit created to support Waldorf initiatives in the Tahoe Truckee area. Our efforts support the growth, development, and accessibility of our mission, and to better serve the local community.

Our promise as community is to cultivate ethical thinkers through accessible Waldorf programing.

  We do this by encouraging people of all ages to find strength and confidence within themselves, faith in those around them and beauty in the greater world. 

Our universe, the fabric of our world, is woven by the interactions and relationship of nature, families, and communities. We believe that through the exploration of ourselves, the natural world, and our community, we begin to understand the larger world. We believe that by spreading ethical thinking, respect for others,  imagination, and a will for learning, we bring trust, beauty and cooperation to the world. By providing and supporting developmentally appropriate curriculum we strengthen the thinking, feeling  and willing of each individual. This sends our community forth with faith in themselves and the deep internal belief that they CAN be the change they want to see in the world.

The Thousand Star campaign will draw together our collective lights, to create a great a galaxy of intention and support where we together imagine the change we want to ignite and foster for our futures, and for those who come after.
