“Many of the people were people who I’d probably not talk to if I was put into a room with them. However today I’ve learned that these young people have experienced a lot of the same things. They’re not so different.”

The mission of Project Footsteps is to inspire, empower and prepare youth and community to be agents of change, social leaders and volunteers.

To do this, we provide program experiences that are designed to do two things:

-Create an opportunity and experience for all young people to independently explore the mixture of today’s social issues, and through intentional discussion, understand their personal relationships to their community
-Provide young people the resources to then conceptualize and implement action based projects that from a youth led level, address a social issue in their immediate community of choice

By 2011 Project Footsteps’ goal is to have reached over 7,000 young people and community members. Please continue to explore our website, there are more than 101 ways to get involved in our efforts!
