The mission of Youth Odyssey Adventure Challenge is to inspire, engage and empower disadvantaged and underprivileged youth through leadership development, life skills, and outdoor activities. The program teaches six basic life skills: communication, teamwork, problem-solving, goal-setting, leadership, and trust. These life skills are taught by trained staff through outdoor adventure activities such as teambuilding sessions, ropes challenge courses, kayaking, canoeing, rock climbing, bouldering, hiking, backpacking, and camping.
Program partners reported that youth who participate in Youth Odyssey Adventure Challenge on average demonstrate decreased disciplinary action, decreased dropout rate, increased attendance, increased grades, and increased test scores. One youth participant stated, “I have learned to treat others with respect, to communicate better, and to not be afraid to confront my fears. I have learned patience, leadership, and integrity so we can better ourselves in the future. And that working with a team is better.” Another youth participant shared, “One thing I have learned in Youth Odyssey is respect and life goals. I will use what I have learned to go to college.” A third youth participant said, “Instead of being quiet and not participating, I lay down the plan. I start actually talking to people about what we’re doing and my leadership skills have improved a lot.”
