Our Programs
After successfully reaching our fundraising goal with the Liz Rocks Campaign by raising $150k for a climbing wall in Liz’s honor. We thought, what if we could raise the same amount of money to provide life-changing experiences to youth that need it the most? We are Tacoma locals committed to helping our community experience the outdoors!
Leaders of Tomorrow Scholarship
The American Alpine Institute's Leaders of Tomorrow (LOT) program utilizes rock climbing, mountaineering, ice climbing, stewardship and outdoor adventure to develop decision making and judgment skills for young leaders. Participants learn skills necessary for an attempt on 10,781-foot Mt. Baker.
Liz Rocks Climbing Wall - Coming Soon!
The public will have access to the climbing wall through the partnership with Liz Rocks, our school partnerships, any open house/community events, special events, etc. The Y does not turn anyone away due to an inability to pay and offers financial assistance to ensure that every person has the opportunity to experience our community centers, programs, and activities.
School/club/organization Trips
Liz rocks has provided outdoor adventure to multiple youth organizations in Tacoma. We partner with other organizations to provide necessary gear and guides. If your group is looking to reach new peaks contact us for more information.
