Learn More About Youth and Young Adult Owning Education!

Formerly YAYA Outdoor Ed, YAYA Owning Education broadens our approach to empowering youth and adults through experiences that explore climate and community, adopt wellness practices, and foster advocacy skills—all through the lens of a positive sense of self.
