This fundraiser is the first step in building Beneath One Sky Collective, an intentional community of people connected through wilderness therapy, outdoor education, mentoring, and healing professions. Even though we are spread out across North America, there is a shared commitment to supporting youth, community wellbeing, and outdoor access.

For this first collective effort, the fundraiser is supporting The Mountain Center and their Youth Resiliency Program in New Mexico. This program partners with intact groups of youth and young adults who are involved with systems such as the juvenile justice system, treatment centers, drug courts, shelters, and school-based programs. Staff travel across the state to offer Therapeutic Adventure Programming, using activities like ropes courses, hiking, climbing, and other outdoor experiences to help youth practice new skills, deepen self-awareness, and explore how these experiences can support their lives and communities. All funds raised will be donated to The Mountain Center!

Beneath One Sky Collective is about staying connected, giving with intention, and uplifting nonprofits that reflect the values practiced in the field: care, service, and belonging.

This is the beginning of a shared practice of supporting communities across the country. Thank you for being part of this first step and for supporting youth in New Mexico!
