Big City Mountaineers needs new partners!
$20,000 in funding available to add new Big City Mountaineers partners to our outdoor adventure program! BCM is an organization which partners with youth agencies and schools to help them in their youth development programs. We use the outdoors and wilderness to instill critical life skills in at-risk youth ages 13-18. At the completion of our program, youth are more likely to stay in school and better equipped with the confidence and skills needed to avoid drug use, violence and delinquency.
We are growing our program next year and I am looking for several new partners. Outside of a $100 fee and help with transportation, BCM will cover the entire cost of this $6,000 program. Please contact Bernie at bernie@bigcitymountaineers.org or 847 348 8324 to learn about this great opportunity. No grant requests needed for this program.
