Programs like this one and Inner Guide

Expeditions, founded in 2012, facilitate

lasting friendships and bonds through

shared experiences with peers.

At Inner Guide, we create through adventures, fun and play, a cul-
ture where people feel comfortable and safe being their true selves
instead of who they think they need to become in order to receive
the love, acceptance and friendship they’re looking for. Feeling seen in
their authenticity is the gateway to freedom.” The goal is to help people
navigate their lives from a place of empowered self-understanding, so
that they may interact with their world and others in a way that is
confident, inspired, and engaged.

IGE offers a variety of programs throughout the year. They have specific
youth programs for middle school and high school called The Guide
Council, where they meet two-three times per month, and offer three
weekend-long adventures throughout the school year. The high school
program also includes an additional two-hour, one-on-one mentor-
ing session every month in order to better support development.
