Your CatRock gift will inspire youth to go even further.
Together we can make an impact on the lives of Bronx youth through our programming that provides access to supportive resources, learning and growth opportunities, and an inclusive community.
Whether it’s hiking to the top of a mountain, learning to snowboard, or clearing trails of invasive species – often for the first time in their lives – CatRock students build a personal connection to the outdoors, a commitment to environmental stewardship, and a dedication to making a difference in their own communities.

“CatRock has done so much for me and my family. They have changed my life and I feel so beyond grateful for them”
~Gabby J.
“I was going through a lot of insecurities. At CatRock they treated me like everybody else wouldn't. It wasn’t like school, walking down the hall, people staring at you or not talking to you. At CatRock they don't care about how you look or your culture or nationality. They just care about you.”
~Destyny G.
“What you learn at CatRock is different from what you learn in high school. Educators at school teach you core subjects like mathematics. Educators at CatRock teach you how to become a better person. It sounds weird to call them educators, but that’s what they are.”
“Doing things that I never thought I’d do, like skiing in Vermont and leading younger students on hiking trips in Hook Mountain Park, has been such an empowering experience. But my experience at CatRock has also helped me become a less self-absorbed person.”
~ Corey R.

“CatRock teaches kids who have challenging backgrounds to step out of that and become more than society has deemed them to be. Many kids in New York City don’t have access to the outdoors or even a backyard. CatRock is pioneering the way to get teens get outdoors and developing them as leaders. I feel like CatRock is an experience that every New York City kid should experience. It is just really a life changing.”
