WHO IS SOARING INTO THE WILDRENESS?
SOARING INTO THE WILDERNESS INC is a non-religious charity focused on youth services. Established in 2022, this organization places young adults at the center of its efforts, employing strength-based and asset-based community approaches. Their programs include client-centered support, functioning as a drop-in service where youth can access various resources and assistance tailored to their needs. The organization operates primarily in Forster, New South Wales.
OUR HISTORY
SOARING INTO THE WILDERNESS was not always what it is today. This corporation was established from SOARING EAGLES YOUTH, a not-for-profit organisation with operations based in Riverstone, Sydney, Australia, founded by Josie Valenti and co-founded by Khiara Lizzio.
SOARING EAGLES YOUTH LTD, established in July 2020, with the mission and purpose to support young adults aged 14-21 years of age, to power through adversity and empower them to reach their potential through self-awareness, personal development, and wellness.
Occuring twice weekly in 2 hour sessions the young adults where provided with the safe space and time to draw on the experiences and assets of peers and the community, young people are able to confront and deal with pain and suffering ensured by adversity and use their strengths to turn away from despair and anti-social behaviours, and build a purposeful life.
SOARING EAGLES YOUTH LTD strives to develop individual confidence, personal development, and build purposeful lives as positive role models within society. Our group work and mentoring encouragement strengthen the development of positive relationship building and leadership opportunities within society, promoting mental health and wellness awareness. These same aspirations moved with the founder, Josie Valenti, to Forster, NSW, to develop SOARING INTO THE WILDERNESS with the founder of INTO THE WILD ADVENTURES, Aaron Dodds. Together, both passions have been combined to create the ultimate youth organisation in a rural, remote area to keep our youth fully educated and with support regardless of their status.
