ABOVE ALL ADVENTURES
Designed to encourage and inspire young people through experiential seminars and outdoor adventures to challenge themselves and become leaders.
My name is Mike Pugh and I started Above All Adventures to work with teens in order to give back the vital life skills that were so freely given to me. I have been working with teens in one capacity or another for most of my life. I was in Scouting for many years as a teen, and I have always had a great love of learning and the great outdoors. I am currently a Big Brother to a teen in the Big Brothers/Big Sisters Program, which resulted from my commitment to working with kids in various activities throughout the years. I have volunteered with kids through coaching team sports, I have worked with kids in groups such as Boy Scouts, and I have mentored other kids one-on-one. It is this commitment to working with kids that inspired me to develop a program to reach even more kids on a grander scale.
Above All Adventures is an Experiential Seminar and Outdoor Adventure Program for Teens based in Auburn, California. Our vision is to create a safe place for teens to learn about the world and how they can show up in it. We will challenge teens by having them take an honest look at themselves and then create outdoor opportunities where they can grow and succeed with courage, strength, esteem, and a new passion for life!
Your contributions will help make this vision a reality. In turn, you will help the teens we reach to learn vital life skills and to become leaders within and throughout our communities.
We need your help!
We are in this to invest in TEENS, but it’s going to take capital to get Above All Adventures up and running. Our non-profit is set to launch in 2014, and YOU can help!!!
We need $40,000 to get started and become operational. We will file for California State Incorporation in January, 2014 and file for non-profit 501(c)(3) Status in March, 2014. As soon as we get the IRS status, we will acquire a local office, hire a Grant Writer, and hire an Administrative Assistant. We will be ready to open for business in Summer 2014!
Let’s Pay it Forward!!! Your contributions NOW will pay dividends in the lives of teens for months and years to come. Your contributions will help create a positive change that reaches beyond today as the teens we work with become constructive leaders in our communities tomorrow. The work we do today is designed to build a foundation upon which TEENS can realize there is no ceiling to their potential!
If you can't contribute, please help us spread the word.
