about this project

Soul Food is a project designed to address the growing socio-emotional challenges faced by young people today, including rising rates of depression, anxiety, and, alarmingly, a 200% increase in suicide rates over the past decade.

This initiative offers a revitalizing journey that brings vulnerable youth into nature’s embrace, where they can reconnect, feel alive, and envision brighter futures. Through experiential outdoor activities, Soul Food fosters informal learning and self-discovery, guiding young people to step outside their comfort zones.

This approach aligns with the core principles of adventure education, allowing youth to confront emotional issues constructively and in the supportive space of leisure activities.
