"During my time at Journeys I've gained a stronger sense of self. I don't think I have ever felt more at peace with who I am and what I feel.”
— Mountain Quest for Young Women Participant, Age 12
"When we first ‘got him back,’ I felt immediately that he was so grounded and connected to who he is. Brandon has returned to us with a deep gratitude for his existence and life which he did not have before. I realize that I can actually hand the reins over to him and that he is indeed capable of handling the steering.”
— Parent of Youth Participant
“The course of my life has been permanently altered, in the most precious and meaningful ways. I am better equipped to serve my community from my heart and I am better able to see the humanity in myself and others.”
— Adult Mountain Quest Participant
“If you have any doubts that you have what it takes at the beginning, you’ll know by the end that you do.”
— Participant
