The Walker/Hupp Fund is part of the San Francisco Foundation Community Initiative Fund. It is a non-profit organization created to help young men and women whose families do not have the financial resources to attend Headwaters Outdoor School either through the "Boys Rites of Passage" for the young men or through the apprenticeship program for both boys and girls.

We believe that the natural world teaches a person about honor, self-responsibility, integrity and community. Mother Earth is the greatest healer for the mind and body. HWOS provides opportunities for teens to learn fire making, earth shelter building, nature awareness skills, wilderness skills (such as tracking, bow and arrow making, and hide tanning) while also teaching them to respect and care for the earth.
