Snowdonia Youth Initiative

Aim:

“Providing education in sustainable living through outdoor experiences in the Snowdonia environment.”

This is an amazing opportunity for you! If you’re aged between 14 and 25 years you can become involved in this superb project in Snowdonia – which you’ll love! The ethos will be that through creative and physical activities undertaken in a mountainous environment, opportunities will be given for involvement, participation, personal development and the exploration of self.

Respect for the environment will be at the heart of the project and there’s the chance to learn an array of new and interesting skills, including life skills, cultural & linguistic skills, environmental, conservation and adventure skills in Snowdonia. Along with activities that are challenging, practical, purposeful, experimental and fun we can assure you that your experience with us will be an unforgettable, life changing one!
