BYEP provides youth with an adventure-based group mentoring program designed to help teens build a supportive community and learn about their own ability. to grow.

BYEP’s powerful mentorship program relies on an exceptional group of people: our volunteer mentors. They bridge the gap between adolescence and adulthood, and support teen participants in grades 7-12 through a strength-based approach.

BYEP is scholarship and needs-based. We are proud to offer our programming at no cost to all of our teen participants! Learn more about our workshops and adventures.

Being a teenager is hard.

Many of the teens we serve at BYEP deal with instability at home and school, or face issues such as debilitating anxiety, depression, negative body image, depression, and suicidal ideation.

BYEP helps 7th-12th graders navigate the difficulties of teenage life. Connection, community, and a sense of belonging combined are the most powerful factors in preventing suicide and promoting mental health. Learn more about the programs BYEP has to offer.
