We change the lives of underserved youth through leadership, mentoring, and adventure.
Explore Austin accepts 6th grade boys and girls and makes a six-year commitment to helping them develop the skills, tools, and habits they will need to become effective leaders. Through a combination of mentoring and outdoor adventure, Explore Austin has created a curriculum around its ACES framework (an acronym for Action-Oriented, Courageous, Excellent Teammate, and Strong Communicator), as well as the Search Institute's 40 Developmental Assets.
Our curriculum is built upon the idea that by taking its committed Explorers, placing them in a unique environment, and giving them problem-solving tasks and challenges, Explorers will develop the character traits necessary to be effective leaders.
Here at Explore Austin we work to serve our city by staying active both physically and in our communities. Local fitness specialist and Explore Austin Mentor, Greg Galindo, is achieving the same end through his company Good Fight Fitness.
In order to inspire success in the company’s clients, Good Fight Fitness will make a charitable donation to Explore Austin for every person who signs up for personal training! Greg’s mission is to provide a fun, safe, innovative, and active environment for those looking to improve their fitness while making a positive impact in their community.
Become a Mentor
Before you begin you may want to meet our Mentors and check out the Mentor FAQ.
The most direct way that you can impact the lives of our Explorers is to offer your time and guidance as a mentor. We are always looking for passionate, dedicated, and adventurous leaders to build strong bonds with our Explorers during our Saturday Challenges and our Summer Wilderness Trips.
For specific questions about our Mentor recruitment process, contact Hillary Kunz at 512.320.8899 or email mentors@exploreaustin.org
