Our Mission & Vision
Our Mission
Our mission is to empower youth to explore the outdoors alongside mentors, sharing awe and the richness of our natural world.
Our Vision
Our vision is to spark a lifelong love of the outdoors through equitable access and routine immersion in nature as a way to foster agency and lead holistic, healthy lifestyles. We work alongside our youth to elevate their voices as the next generation of diverse environmental stewards.
Culturally Responsive
At Elevate Youth, we believe the outdoors is for everyone. We are committed to fostering a culture of belonging that includes open dialogue and learning with youth, community members and staff in order to ensure that our programs reflect diverse backgrounds and experiences. We strive to reduce and ultimately eliminate barriers to accessing nature, so that youth, their families, and all of our stakeholders can experience the transformative power of the outdoors.
