Our Programs

We are committed to making a positive impact on the youth of Columbia County youth through engaging in one on one interactions which enable career and life goals to take shape.

SUMMER CAMP IS AWESOME

We are a partner with the Thousand Summers campership program which is sponsored by the John Austin Cheley Foundation. Through this program we send local youth to summer camp year over year, allowing them to build upon their experiences.

This program also encompasses a capstone program and leadership aspects that can turn into a career in the outdoors.

Check out a recent blog post written about this rapidly growing program.

Peer Support

Through partnership with YouthEra we provide semi-monthly craft and cooking events to youth across the County. We deliver the necessary supplies to participant’s doors the day before the meeting, at no cost to the participants. Through this program we also provide one on one peer support services and specialized programs for those in need.
