Summer 2026 Fundraising Campaign: 23 Years of Impact

This June, July, and August, ARC is raising $200,000 to support youth becoming stewards of their futures, their communities, and the environment. We are proud to celebrate our 23rd year and need your help to continue this important work this summer and beyond!

Since 2004, ARC has created brave spaces for high school students to share their story, find their best self, and write their future. Through our 11-day Stepping Stone and 34-day Immersive courses in the Sierra Nevada, students build literacy skills, develop as leaders, form lasting community, and discover the outdoors as their classroom. Most students pay less than $1 a day to participate. Because of the generosity of the ARC community, we are able to offer sliding scale tuition and programming at low to no cost.

Every dollar removes a barrier and turns this vision into a reality for more young people. Make a gift today and help us reach our goal!

Supporting ARC’s Mission  

Thank you for visiting this page! You are one of the many reasons we are able to facilitate a multi-year program progression for high school youth, and we absolutely could not accomplish our mission without a wide network of supporters like you. 

Our vision is that all youth are stewards of their own future, their communities, and the environment. The donation you are about to make will help turn this vision into a reality for more young people. Please consider making a monthly commitment now or including a legacy gift to ARC in your will, as these forms of giving provide more sustainability to the organization and our future programs. After donating you will receive an email, and a receipt for your tax deductible donation will be attached. Please reach out to me if you would like to get more involved.

For more information on our giving program, please contact us. All of our exceptional and highly motivated students participate in the program on full or partial scholarships, and 100% of your tax-deductible donation will directly support ARC’s programs.

Sincerely,
Bree Lindsey
