BY THE NUMBERS

Since March 2018, our programs have reached young people and families in 14 counties and 34 cities across Georgia.

Every program is offered at no cost, made possible by the volunteers, donors, and partners who share our belief that the outdoors belongs to everyone. Here’s what that support has added up to.

From the participants, families, and partners –

  • “I really love the program. They teach the kids about nature and how to respect it. And for the parents, they teach them how to put trash in the right place. “

    – Parent

  • “It’s just been an amazing experience for them to connect with nature, but also see themselves in an environment they’re not in all the time.”

    – Dr. Maisha Otway, PhD, Principal, College Park Elementary School

  • “What an absolutely great group of people who provide such a remarkable experience for the youth. Smiles the entire day! One of the best non-profit organizations I've come across!”

    – Parent

  • “La paciencia, amabilidad y servicio fue excelente.” [The patience, kindness and service was excellent.]

    – Parent

  • “The thing I like about doing the kayak is just roaming around and having fun talking to your friends.”

    – Youth Participant, Hike ‘N Paddle

  • “I like it because I’m getting to meet new people that I’ve never met before.”

    – Youth Participant, Hike ‘N Paddle

  • “Paddle4Tomorrow is an excellent way for children to expose themselves to the sport of kayaking and learn more about their environment. The program is fun, interactive and educational!”

    – Parent

  • “My mom said the park was so beautiful, she hiked six miles while waiting for me. She will take me back again to fish and see the beautiful sediment rocks that she saw at the park.”

    – Youth Participant, Hike ‘N Paddle

  • “I think it makes a huge difference in everybody understanding the need to take care of this planet. You’re not going to understand that if you’re not out there.”

    – Jeannie Adams Myers, Los Niños Primero USA

  • Thank you P4T. I had an amazing time at the event, and now I want to get a kayak. I am studying so hard to get all A's so I can get a kayak for Christmas. I am grateful for all of you who take their time and planned this event."

    – Youth Participant, River Teens

  • “Even if someone doesn’t speak your language or doesn’t look like you, you can all enjoy beautiful nature. It really is uniting.”

    – Temple Moore, Refugee Women’s Network
