About BYEP


The Big Sky Youth Empowerment project, Inc. was incorporated in 2001 in order to meet the demand for creative programs targeting high school-aged, at-risk youth. Founded by Pete MacFadyen (avid snowboarder, fly fisherman, and LCPC (Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor)), his frustrations with traditional counseling models provided a catalyst for the creation of BYEP.
