Who are our teens?
While our teens come from a range of diverse backgrounds and experiences, many are unfamiliar with outdoor adventures. Engagement with volunteers helps youth overcome any hesitancies and start building life-changing skills!
Why volunteer?
You can make a difference in the life of a Chicago-area teen by helping to guide youth on a journey of personal discovery and growth, through board governance, or by assisting our development staff. Who knows? You might just discover a little about yourself too.
Who volunteers?
People of all skill levels. We have volunteers who work with kids or in the nonprofit field in their professional lives, some are avid bicyclists or canoeists, and some are complete novices. The one thing we all have in common is a passion for helping kids succeed.
Can I just try things out?
Yes! Come see what we’re about. Fill out an application, join us for an adventure, explore board leadership, or have a lot of fun helping us with a fundraising event!
