CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Youth Odyssey targets kids ages 10 through 17-years-old through teaching basic life skills. Those skills include: communication, teamwork, problem-solving, goal-setting, leadership, trust, empathy, mindfulness, self-confidence, and positive coping skills.
These are taught through adventure activities that include team-building sessions, ropes challenge courses, kayaking, canoeing, rock climbing, bouldering, hiking, backpacking, camping, and more. Since becoming established, Youth Odyssey has provided approximately 15,000 at-risk and disadvantaged youth with life changing opportunities; 800-900 youth annually.
We have longstanding partnerships with many agencies here in the Coastal Bend; and programming is free of cost to the youth and their families.
They are one of 55 Coastal Bend non-profits featured during the annual Coastal Bend Day of Giving 24-hour online fundraising event. You can learn more about who else is featured by clicking here.
