big city mountaineers partnership story

Big City Mountaineers

 

The outdoors are a place that we all celebrate, and we want the next generation to treasure these spaces too. Smartwool is a proud supporter of Big City Mountaineers, who works to transform the lives of under-served youth through wilderness mentoring expeditions that instill critical life skills. BCM partners with community-based youth organizations and caring adult volunteers who act as mentors in the field to help young people realize their potential. 

We sent two Smartwool ambassadors out with a group of teenagers for an unforgettable week of adventure, laughter, and discovery.

BCM's curriculum improves self-esteem, responsibility, decision-making abilities and communication skills in close to 1,000 youth annually. BCM has a proven track record of improving young peoples’ lives with:
• Increased likeliness to stay in school
• Reduction in violence
• Reduction in drug use

Impressive, right? We think so too, and are so grateful to partner with this amazing organization. Click here to learn more and get involved with Big City Mountaineers.
