Mission Statement
Youth Passageways is an evolving network of individuals, organizations, and communities who help regenerate healthy passages for today’s youth into mature adulthood.
About This Cause
We are a cross-cultural and intergenerational network that includes a broad and diverse range of rite of passage, education, and youth and community development efforts joining together for mutual support, collaborative learning, resource and community development, and to cross-pollinate ideas and practices that foster the development of whole, healthy, and responsible human beings. We are rite of passage practitioners, youth workers, outdoor educators, counselors and therapists, educators, community organizers, scholars, elders, and many others who work to ensure young people grow up healthy, strong and resilient. We are also families and communities upon which those young people depend. Perhaps most importantly, we are youth themselves. Through holding space that calls on ALL voices from all stages of the life cycle, our mission and vision comes most fully alive. Our broadest aim is to revitalize rites of passage as an integral part of holistic human development on both an individual and cultural level. Ultimately, we seek to gain wider visibility for both time-tested and innovative rite of passage ideas, methods and practices and illuminate strategies to bring them to bear on the wider work of youth and community development.
