Donate to BYEP
“I can finally see all the amazing things life has to offer, and all the amazing things I have to offer the world. ”
You can help make a lasting difference in the lives of teens.
Support BYEP with a donation during the last month of the year. Every donation counts. Your gift provides support for the continued urgent need to lift up vulnerable youth in our community!
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.
