Wayfinders: The Teen Program Where Kids Earn Their Own Adventures.
Choosing the right environment for your teenager matters.
Many youth programs focus on entertainment or passive learning.
Wayfinders was created to give teens something different: a chance to practice real independence.
In this mentor-led program, members work together to design a travel experience, earn most of the funding themselves, and learn how to plan and execute a real adventure as a team.
The trip is the outcome.
The real goal is helping teenagers develop initiative, responsibility, and confidence in the real world.
This information session is an opportunity for parents to learn how the program works and decide whether it is a good fit for their teen.
