Instead, will you donate to the Take a Hike Youth at Risk Foundation? I’ll match every dollar you donate to double your impact if you donate before Dec 25. Even $5 or $10 makes a difference.
I’m attending a fundraising moonlight snowshoe event for an at-risk youth high school program that combines academics with adventure-based learning, counselling, and community service. Due to the success of the program, the graduation rate of Take a Hike students is higher than the provincial average.
Find out about the event here.
Your donation will help fund a 4 day winter trek for 40 students. These trips prove to be very therapeutic learning experiences for the youth.
Read about the impacts of these trips on the youth here.
“While I was at Take a Hike, I made a decision to change, and to take life seriously; I strived to become a better person. Being given this gift – to be picked up off the ground when I was at a low point in my life –it seems fitting to now be in a role in society where I can help others.”
