Stronger Leaders, Stronger Communities
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
The Pinnacle Youth Leadership program at Team New England offers transformative outdoor leadership experiences designed to empower youth from underserved urban communities.

By providing access to these unique opportunities, we help youth unlock their potential and equip them for future success in academics, career, and life.

THE SOLUTION
Our Pinnacle Youth Leadership program provides these opportunities by taking students on outdoor expeditions that combine leadership training with hands-on learning. mmunities and beyond.
