About the Campaign
Explore Austin empowers youth from economically disadvantaged communities to reach their full potential through mentoring, leadership and outdoor adventure.
When you support Explore Austin's mission through the Trailblazer campaign, you are ensuring we can continue to provide this transformational program free of cost. Research shows when youth have a long-term, caring adult in their life, access to challenging outdoor activities, and opportunities to lead others and themselves, they are more confident and prepared to reach their highest level of success.

Start Fundraising
Outdoor Advocate $100
Raising $100 will fund four Saturday Challenges for one Explorer. Saturday Challenges are where EA program participants develop trust in their teammates and hone the technical skills they will need to thrive in outdoor adventure and in school, work, or life challenges.
Summit Seeker $250
Raising $250 funds one round trip plane ticket to a Summer Wilderness Trip Destination. After diligent practice at Summer Challenges, participants go on a once-in-a-lifetime trip to test their skills and push themselves in new ways. Whether they are backpacking in Oklahoma or scaling a mountain in Wyoming, a gift at this level creates lifelong memories.
Challenge Chaser $500
Raising $500 will allow us to buy the gear needed for Saturday Challenges and the Summer Wilderness Trip. Without tents, climbing harnesses, canoes, and mountain bikes there can be no adventure. Equipment equals exploration!
