Explore Austin's mission is to empower youth through leadership, mentoring, and outdoor adventure. 

Explore Austin accepts 6th-grade youth and makes a six-year commitment to helping them develop the skills, tools, and habits they will need to become effective leaders. Through a combination of mentoring and outdoor adventure, Explore Austin has created a curriculum around its ACES framework (an acronym for Action-Oriented, Courageous, Excellent Teammate, and Strong Communicator), as well as the Search Institute's 40 Developmental Assets.

Our curriculum is built upon the idea that by taking its committed Explorers, placing them in a unique environment, and giving them problem-solving tasks and challenges, Explorers will develop the character traits necessary to be effective leaders.
