Pass It On – Outdoor Mentors

We are a 501(c)3 non-profit organization empowering youth through
outdoors experiences and mentorship. By using outdoor experiences as a
platform to mentor young people of diverse backgrounds we are making
generational impact through the outdoors and passing along our outdoor
heritage. Founded in 2002, we have a goal to serve 100,000 young people in
the outdoors by 2033.

We are passionate about equipping the next generation with outdoor
opportunities through mentorship. We have scaled our program in Kansas,
Iowa, and Wisconsin and hope to continue to grow into other states. What
makes our program unique from other youth mentoring programs is that
we have dedicated Program Coordinators that plan new and continued
opportunities for kids who are 11 years of age and older, who have completed
Hunter Education. Any youth interested in getting involved in the outdoors
can participate with us as many times as they want. All our events are FREE.
We find access for hunting, fishing, and shooting sports, line up vetted
volunteer mentors to lead these opportunities, and communicate with all
parties about the details of the event. We have great resources at our
disposal to coordinate these events efficiently for inexperienced youth or for
youth who have dabbled in the outdoors. Our coordination of these events
provides confidence to first time hunters and parents/guardians which
empowers the volunteers to do what they are most passionate about,
mentor.
