The New Jersey Youth Leadership Corps is a merit-based scholarship expedition awarded to some of the area's youth leaders who are excited to challenge themselves and discover their leadership potential.
This scholarship is available for rising sophomores and juniors in New Jersey who are interested in attending a summer 14-day Outward Bound expedition featuring backpacking, rock climbing, and canoeing in and around the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. Students can apply to NJYLC here >
Teenagers on NJYLC Outward bound courses see their screen time drop from eight hours a day to zero, replacing those hours with time spent in nature. Your donation helps us provide the opportunity for young people to take a break from technology and focus on connection and compassion in the outdoors.
"I've gone through a lot on this trip and I can happily say I've learned so much from the wilderness and the people who have been with me through all of this. I've found joy, peace, fulfillment, and so much more. I've grown so much as a person, and I helped the people around me grow, too. I'm overjoyed that I've done this and would do it all again in a heartbeat."
