Kammok, a 1% for the Planet business member offering camping equipment, partners with Explore Austin to mentor young Explorers from Austin, Texas. Explore Austin provides youth with mentors and uses nature to teach compassion, humility, and empower Explorers to make positive life choices. The nonprofit makes a six year commitment to participants, bringing Explorers on outdoor excursions and building community between Explorers and mentors through team-based adventure.
82% of Explorers believe they can make a positive impact on their community, and 100% believe that their mentors believe in them.
By the end of their six years in the program, each Explorer will have spent more than 1,300 hours with their mentors and exploring the outdoors. With 280 active Explorers, this partnership is inspiring the next generation of changemakers by empowering them to see and feel their connection to the world around them.
