Pass It On - Outdoor Mentors, Inc.

Too many kids are spending too little time outdoors. And that is a problem that is drawing more attention from lots of different audiences today.

Pass It On - Outdoor Mentors works to find mentors for children who want to experience the great outdoors we all know and love. Teaming with youth mentoring organizations like Big Brothers Big Sisters, who have over 100 years of mentoring experience, we can make a difference in the lives of children across the country.

Take a few moments to browse our website and see how others are getting involved with Pass It On. Then contact us or your local BBBS office and find out how you can get involved too!
