Far + Wise

Kindergarten to Career — Helping Kids Spread their Wings

Thanks to our extraordinary community support, we are growing and expanding our work.

Together we will now go further and deeper into empowering students through expanded programs and services – providing even more tools, opportunities, skills and personal development resources for the youth of Blaine County.

Our mission: Far + Wise provides academic support and experiential education for students from early elementary through high school and beyond, and by removing financial and other barriers, ensures that all students can achieve their education, career, and life goals.

Our Approach Is Unique

Far + Wise commits to our students, long term. Students in our core programs receive academic and experiential education from elementary school through high school and beyond. Support includes tutoring, mentorship, homework support, enrichment opportunities, outdoor education and service opportunities. Additionally, we provide support to explore educational and career opportunities. As a unique incentive, each student is offered tuition assistance for college or trade and professional school upon successful completion of high school.

We recently introduced trade and professional programming to expand opportunities for students in middle, high school and graduates, by offering camps and classes, locally. We are eager to provide skill-building and training opportunities, and to match talent with business needs. This collaborative program is conducted in partnership with the Blaine County School District, College of Southern Idaho and Sun Valley Economic Development.
