Upstream Youth Foundation helps disadvantaged and marginalized youth build confidence and connection to nature through safe, beginner‑friendly river adventures, one‑to‑one mentorship, and river stewardship education.
Our mission is to open access to life‑changing river experiences for youth who face barriers. We prioritize safety, inclusion, and positive youth development—using the river as a classroom for resilience, teamwork, and stewardship.
Bungee Riverboarding (Beginner‑friendly): A safe, coached introduction to swiftwater fun that builds confidence and joy.
Mentorship: Caring adult mentors support youth through adventure days and beyond.
River Stewardship Education: Hands‑on lessons about safety, conservation, and caring for our waterways.
