Kristen Jeffrey's Company Details

Created in 1997, Youth Odyssey is a 501 (C) (3) non-profit organization based primarily in Nueces County (and secondary locations in Jim Wells, Live Oak, and San Patricio Counties), driven to address the rising tide of juvenile crime and violence. Youth Odyssey is on a mission to provide at-risk boys and girls ages 10-17 with youth development through life skills and adventure challenge programming. The six life skills we focus on are: communication, teamwork, problem-solving, goal-setting, leadership, and trust. We teach and apply these skills through adventure activities that include teambuilding sessions, ropes challenge courses, kayaking, canoeing, rock climbing, bouldering, hiking, backpacking, camping, and more. Since our establishment, Youth Odyssey has provided approximately 10,000 at-risk and disadvantaged youth with life changing opportunities; 800-900 youth annually.
