Narrow Ridge works in conjunction with Colleges and Universities to develop on-site programs that satisfy all or part of a course requirement. Programs are typically experiential in nature and may include residence in and tours of sustainable dwellings, day and night hikes, organic gardening, environmental films, field trips to a mountain-top removal site, and vegetarian cooking instruction. Students may also choose Narrow Ridge as the site for a course of independent study or internship with the approval of their academic institution.
