“I can finally see all the amazing things life has to offer, and all the amazing things I have to offer the world. ”

— Emily Kern, BYEP Alumn

Your donation supports BYEP’s life-changing mission of creating a transfomative community where vulnerable teenagers experience belonging, purpose, and well-being through group mentorship, adventure, and connection with the natural world. BYEP is designed to help 7th-12th graders navigate the difficulties of teenage life, and discover their own capacity for growth and success, confidently contributing toward a kinder and more connected community.

By donating to BYEP, you help break down barriers to access the outdoors, and provide a safe space for our participants to grow, form healthy relationships, and build confidence.
