Big City Mountaineers (BCM) is a brand that offers wilderness expeditions to bring kids out of their comfort zones and into the wild, where they can develop the confidence needed for more promising futures. BCM aims to inspire meaningful connections in the great outdoors for young people facing barriers to outdoor access and other systemic challenges in their lives. Through free, fully outfitted, and professionally led outdoor and backcountry trips, BCM provides youth ages 12 to 18 with the opportunity to strengthen their skills, mental and physical health, social-emotional well-being, and become better stewards of the planet.

They engage young people in six metropolitan regions across the country, including Boston MA, Minneapolis MN, Denver CO, Seattle WA, Portland OR, and the San Francisco Bay Area. BCM's mission is to help youth better connect with themselves, nature, their community, and a sense of joy. Their programs emphasize building meaningful connections with nature and offer resources and support for youth agencies as well.
