About
Our mission: City Kids Wilderness Project is a nonprofit organization founded on the belief that providing enriching life experiences for DC youth can enhance their lives, the lives of their families and the greater community. Our model: Our program is based around three core principles: long-term youth engagement, outdoor adventure and experiential education programming, and goal setting with a focus on future planning. Youth develop a positive self-identity by overcoming challenges, building strong relationships with peers and adult mentors, and exploring personal possibilities. Our impact: In the past five years, 97% of participants have graduated from high school, and 3% have completed their GED. In comparison, the DC graduation rate is currently less than 69%. 90% enroll in college or other formal programs such as vocational training or the military directly after high school. 92% of participants report that they think about their purposes in life often, 82% report often or always setting goals, and 85% often or always try again when they don't reach them.
