Welcome to the Youth Outdoor Participation Project
About Us
Over the past decade there has been a significant increase in programs encouraging youth to pursue outdoor activities. However, very few of these programs cater to disadvantaged youth in low income areas. Y.O.P.P. is an effort to solve this issue and provide at risk-youth with a unique opportunity. Our website is divided into five major categories: program proposal, structure report, partnership proposal, program plan and the Y.O.P.P. commercial. Within each of these we detail each component of the Y.O.P.P. organization. It is our hope that you will learn the need of a program such as Y.O.P.P., and the importance of reaching the youth we serve. Welcome, to the Youth Outdoor Participation Project.
Mission
To provide valued experiences through nature that help disadvantaged youth develop essential life skills and build positive relationships with peers and nature.
