Our Story
Our story As mothers of teens, we’ve seen digital dependency replace drugs and alcohol as the top concern, fueling anxiety, depression, and disconnection.
Growing up before smartphones, we knew a freer life—something all parents wish for their kids. Inspired by this, our teens and their friends created Young Rebels with a Cause, a space to reconnect, embrace creativity, and rediscover joy in nature.
Our Core Values
JOY• CURIOSITY• EMPATHY• SERVICE• AUTHENTICITY• GRATITUDE• RESILIENCE•
Our Mission & Purpose
Young Rebels with a Cause designs hands-on experiences where teens unplug, grow, and discover themselves.
Prioritizing real-life learning over screens, our events foster self-awareness, creativity, and meaningful connections. By transforming insights into action, participants gain confidence, purpose, and the mindset to lead with intention—not just scroll through life.
Our Vision
To build a network of vibrant spaces where Gen Z can disconnect from the digital world, connect with peers, cultivate creativity, and grow into confident, conscious young leaders.
