Mission Statement
International NGO empowering underserved youth and communities through climbing and solidarity.
Description
Inspired by founder Tiffany Hensley's work in 2014 in Mexico to empower though through climbing, MBB was eventually established 2018 in Colorado to connect and empower other small programs world wide. We adapt to work with any grassroots program using climbing and empowering youth. Our support includes 'accompanying' programs in the long term, making connections with programs to foster a community of like-minded individuals, and providing momentum with remote volunteer work. Programs receive climbing gear, funding for certifications, and opportunities to learn from professionals who can give depth to their social impact, such as psychologists and climbing therapists.
