Program areas at Stepping Stones Project

In 2018 we served 15 groups with 5 to 8 youth in each group. Groups meet for a monthly daylong outing with two mentor leaders for each group. Groups stay together for 2 to 3 years and include an annual camping trip. Nature, connection, art, talk time and playtime are a methodical part of the group dynamics. Each leader is selected carefully with a background of wilderness experience and youth development. Parents also meet with leaders once a quarter to bring much needed support for their roles during these intense developmental years.
