Cypress Adventures is a non-profit Youth Advocacy Organization providing leadership and life-skills development to teens ages 11-18 through a combination of experiential group activities and exciting outdoor adventures. An incubator for positive Youth Leadership Development, Cypress specializes in adventure-based experiential group activities for middle and high school students, team-building exercises for businesses and organizations, and professional development courses for educators and youth-serving entities. Our 14-week afterschool Youth Leadership Programs, combined with our summer activities and weekend camping trips, educate and encourage teens to create healthy, happy lives. We equip them with the foundational life skills necessary to become influential leaders, team members, and citizens at school, work, and home. We expose youth to workforce readiness, civic engagement, peer mentoring, and cultural competencies that expand their minds, elevate their purpose and guide them to pursue their greatest passions. Cypress Adventures is a place of belonging, connecting, and compassion, mixed with an abundance of fun, friendship, and support.
