Mentoring Adventures

Encompass offers a dynamic combination of experiential education and mentoring that transforms the lives of youth. Experiential education is a process of direct experience and focused reflection in order to increase knowledge, skills and values. We use direct experiences that encourage youth to take action in their lives rather than be a passive spectator in it.

Too often we give children 
answers to remember, rather than questions to solve."
