Our Story
Climbing Borders was inspired by the program Escalando Fronteras (it's Spanish translation), a youth empowerment program registered in Mexico in 2014 by Dr. Nadia Vazquez and Rory Smith. Climbing Borders' mission is to empower inner-city youth in underdeveloped parts of the world by partnering with Escalando Fronteras and budding, similar youth climbing programs in poor neighborhoods. Through climbing, we aspire to connect at-risk youth to opportunities in education, therapy and career development.
Our Goal
Funds raised will go to establishing Climbing Borders as a 501(c)(3) in the US, functioning as a crowdfunding charity to benefit inner-city, at-risk youth climbing empowerment programs like Escalando Fronteras A.C. in Monterrey, Mexico.
