MISSION
To empower youth through educational adventures that promote independence, confidence, and a deeper connection to their community—one field trip at a time.

VISION
To create a community in which children grow up to become confident and compassionate adults aware of their individual strength, beauty, and connection to the natural world.

​VALUES
MOVEMENT: We believe that moving your body is critical for physical and mental well-being. Physical movement helps release stress, process emotions, build endurance, and strengthen the connection we have with our bodies.  

CURIOSITY: We believe in the power of constantly questioning, which propels us to explore, discover, and expand our understanding of the world around us. Curiosity instills the courage to confidently venture into the unknown and embrace challenges as opportunities to learn about ourselves. 

ADVENTURE: We believe that real growth happens beyond what is easy or comfortable. Facing new situations and improvising our way through them with others helps us confront our fears, rediscover ourselves, and forge lifelong bonds with others.

ATX KIDS CLUB is an Austin-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit offering adventure-based field trips for children ages 4–13. In partnership with CapMetro, we explore the city in small groups, teaching kids how to use public transportation, work as a team, and gain confidence and independence. By traveling via public bus and ATX Vans, campers develop the practical knowledge to navigate the city and discover the many wonders Austin and its surrounding areas have to offer.

DIVERSITY STATEMENT
​ In order to accomplish our mission, we believe that we must be responsive to the needs of everyone in the community who may receive services, regardless of their racial/ethnic background. We will create and implement programs using our awareness of cultural differences and treat all clients with respect. Furthermore, we will create an organizational culture that values people of all racial/ethnic backgrounds and that is based on our organizational values of respect, integrity, and honesty. Our commitment to inclusiveness will be evident in our organizational policies and procedures, as part of our strategic plan, and within our organizational goals.
