For Youth Organizations

You Know Them By Name. We Want to Help.

You already know which young people are carrying more than they should have to carry.

We intend to be a trusted, well-run place to send them for experiences they can't get anywhere else.

Referral partners

Organizations we intend to work alongside.

Schools & School Districts

Counselors, social workers, and administrators who see which students need a different kind of opportunity.

Foster & Group Care

Foster networks, group homes, residential programs, and child-placing agencies.

Youth-Serving Nonprofits

Mentoring programs, after-school programs, clubs, and community youth ministries.

Juvenile Justice & Family Services

Diversion programs, probation officers, and family-support caseworkers, within appropriate legal frameworks.

Faith Communities

Churches and youth ministries serving families in difficult circumstances.

Behavioral Health Providers

Providers seeking prosocial, strength-based outdoor experiences to complement clinical care.

How referrals are intended to work

Clear, careful, documented.

  1. 1

    You identify young people who would benefit from outdoor experiences, mentorship, and belonging.

  2. 2

    We coordinate directly with your organization on eligibility, consent, and guardianship requirements.

  3. 3

    Participation always requires appropriate guardian consent and documentation.

  4. 4

    Volunteers and mentors in direct contact with minors are intended to be screened, trained, and background-checked.

  5. 5

    We stay in communication with your team before, during, and after each experience.
