BOLD/GOLD provides opportunities to build team leadership skills, self-confidence and self-awareness in diverse multi-cultural groups through challenging outdoor activities in the wilderness environment. GOLD and BOLD is a program for youth that utilizes the outdoors and outdoor activities as a vehicle to create a strong supportive environment. Our goal is to increase confidence, resiliency, emoti
onal intelligence, wonder and community awareness in participants. Understanding more about what it means to be a young woman or man in today’s society informs how we view the world. We believe these traits are the foundations of leadership and work to inspire participants to develop their own leadership style through developing these competencies. The primary goal of BOLD/GOLD is to reduce and remove barriers for all youth and teens, regardless of experience, ethnicity or socio-economic status, to enjoy access to the outdoors through wilderness adventure and to build leadership values and skills.
