To have the greatest impact on future generations, Adventure4Change is committed – whenever possible – to a preventative or upstream approach to development. This requires looking beyond the symptoms or presenting issues, and seeking to establish early engagement long before the costly and sometimes insolvable problems come into existence.
Healthy childhood development takes place across a range of contexts and experiences: at school, at home and at play in the community. It is imperative that we assume a holistic approach to supporting our youngest ones by engaging with their entire world.
Adventure4Change believes that one of the wisest places to invest big solution energy is in the lives of youth. Our goal – realized in the context of formal programming and informal friendship – seeks to instill in young people positive self – esteem, an understanding of the value of their own lives and the lives of others, leadership skills and a capacity to make change in their own world.
The experiences and relationships aimed to promote personal development are made available to each person who enters our context. From the school-aged children to retirees, we help participants grow in the awareness that a life best lived also involves being in the service of others.
Helping each and every participant to realize their potential for contribution to the welfare of others is a theme that is integral to all that we do.
