Empower
Yourself.
Big Sky Youth Empowerment is not counseling. It's not a punishment. It's not grown ups telling you how to live your life. BYEP is a second family where people accept you for you. BYEP helps you create change in your own life. For the past 22 years, teenagers like you have courageously submitted applications for enrollment in BYEP.
BYEP is completely free to apply and join! Weekly workshops are from 4-7pm, and outdoor adventures are on Sundays. From skiing & snowboarding gear, transportation, all the way to after school snacks, BYEP provides everything you’ll need to participate fully in our program.
ADVENTURES
At Big Sky Youth Empowerment, you'll be getting outside so you can grow inside. Every Sunday we go on outdoor experiential adventures. You'll get all your own gear and learn how to ski, snowboard, climb, whitewater raft, garden, paddle board, hike, horse back ride, and so much more.
LIFE SKILLS
BYEP is more than just adventures. When you're in BYEP, you'll participate in weekly workshops, one night a week from 4-7pm. These workshops will teach you stress coping mechanisms and things to help make you a more confident person. But we'll also teach you life skills like resume building, interviewing skills, financial literacy, and a whole bunch more.
SUPPORT
Friendships. Connection. Support. It's what you'll have at BYEP. You'll be in a group with people a whole lot like yourself, and you'll make the best friends you could dream of. Along with that, you'll be paired with Program Managers and volunteer mentors who will be dedicated to seeing you grow, learn, and appreciate yourself each and every day.
