Why This Matters

Across the country, young adults are struggling to find direction and belonging.
At the same time, veterans, first responders, and mentors carry the lived wisdom to guide them — but often lack the spaces for their own renewal.

Wayfinders brings these generations together in wilderness and community — where healing happens, purpose awakens, and new paths and connections emerge.

Waypoints is the network that makes it all possible.
Each supporter becomes a marker of care and connection — giving forward so others can find their way.

🧭 How It Works

Give One Hour a Month

Give the equivalent of one hour of your wage each month.
Your contribution fuels programs that connect people across generations through nature-based rites of passage and service.

Choose where your support goes:

The General Trail — helps grow new Wayfinders programs.
Regional Waypoints — Alaska, Minnesota, or California.

Your monthly support directly funds:

Mentor and veteran programs and training
Nature-based rites of passage for young adults
Community service projects that build belonging and purpose

A Living Network of Belonging

Waypoints isn’t just a fund — it’s a movement.
Every donor, mentor, and veteran is part of a living network of care, lighting the trail for others.

Ambassadors share the story, invite others to join, and spread the circle outward — like ripples through the wilderness.
