Will you help us Pass the Torch?
Elevate Youth is on a mission to break down systemic barriers of access to the outdoors.
We introduce youth from underserved neighborhoods to outdoor activities such as skiing, fishing, surfing or rock climbing, Elevate Youth empowers and engages the next generation of diverse environmental stewards.
Introducing the
Elevate Youth Leaders Program
“We cannot afford to let the ideas of our young generation go untapped or unbacked.”
Who will be the next face of the environmental movement?
Our new Leaders Program is working to equip the next generation of environmental advocates and conservation leaders in their homes and communities.
We need YOUR HELP to launch this exciting initiative
“In nature & beyond, great moments come from actively listening to our young people”
“I asked him what he enjoyed the most from his time at Elevate Youth and Kimani stated, “EY gave me the chance to explore.”
Seeing a former student follow their passion for the outdoors beyond our programming is the very reason Elevate Youth exists.”
