Mission Statement
Our mission is to inspire, engage and empower disadvantaged and underprivileged youth through leadership development, life skills, and outdoor activities.
Description
Created in 1997, Youth Odyssey is a 501 (C) (3) non-profit based in Corpus Christi. We focus on six life skills that help discover their potential by teaching them: communication, teamwork, problem-solving, goal-setting, leadership, and trust. We teach and apply these skills through adventure activities that include teambuilding sessions, ropes challenge courses, kayaking, canoeing, rock climbing, bouldering, hiking, backpacking, camping, and more. Since our establishment, Youth Odyssey has provided approximately 12,000 at-risk and disadvantaged youth with life changing opportunities; 800-900 youth annually.
