WiseTribe

What WiseTribe does

WiseTribe is a Delray Beach, Florida-based nonprofit (501(c)-style community learning organization) founded in 2013 by Jacqueline Botting. Its mission is to transform the well-being of youth through learning projects that build problem-solving skills, resilience, and community, with a thematic focus on food citizenship and systemic food-system change. The organization operates primarily in Palm Beach County, delivering youth programming through Title I school partnerships, after-care programs, and summer camps.

Its core programmatic products are the 4Cs Community Learning Process—a four-phase methodology (Connect, Collaborate, Co-Create, Celebrate) that structures grassroots community projects—and Food Land, a points-based gamification game used to drive healthy food-related behaviors among Junior WiseTribers, their parents, and school families. The Junior WiseTribers Program delivers hands-on youth leadership and mentorship through schools. Supporting infrastructure includes a self-serve member portal for registered participants and an online donation platform powered by Network for Good, with tiered giving levels ranging from $25 to $1,000. Cumulative reported outcomes include 27,000 lbs of food rescued, 45,000 COVID emergency meals distributed, 2,150 volunteer hours, 114 container gardens distributed, and 200 Junior WiseTribers coached.

WiseTribe is funded almost entirely through donations and philanthropic contributions from individuals, foundations, and corporate sponsors. Its GTM motion is community-led, relying on volunteer recruitment, board engagement, and direct school partnerships to drive participation. Only two institutional partners are publicly disclosed—G. W. Carver Middle School in Delray Beach and SouthTech Preparatory Academy in Boynton Beach—along with Palm Health Foundation as a programmatic supporter. No revenue figures are disclosed, and the organization operates with 1–10 employees from a single office.
