Nevada City, CA 95959

The Woolman Semester in Nevada City, CA, was a Quaker educational initiative that operated for 60 years under the stewardship of the John Woolman School, providing a unique learning environment rooted in Quaker values. In July 2025, the campus transitioned to the California Heritage Indigenous Research Project (CHIRP), marking a significant change as the land returned to the Nisenan Tribe, the original inhabitants of the area.

Despite its impactful history, including various youth programs and community gatherings, the institution faced financial challenges that ultimately led to its closure in 2016 and subsequent sale in 2022. The sale facilitates a new beginning for the Nisenan Tribe, while also establishing a fund to support future Quaker educational initiatives.
