Donate to Support Kismet Youth

Kismet Rock Foundation is a true testament to the strength of community. Because of your support, and the passion and dedication of so many, we can provide an education in technical climbing and a diverse, welcoming environment that our students may otherwise never know.

In their words, a place, “to come out of their shadow” or a place where they feel like they are “a part of something bigger than themselves.”

The students we serve are limited in social and material capital. They may experience housing disruption, food instability, lack of access to extracurricular opportunities, or access to green spaces.

The need our program fills in our students’ lives is an environment where students feel seen, heard, and valued. This environment gives our students exposure to youth from other cultural backgrounds, access to the outdoors, and positive role models.

We kick off our summer season on June 29th and are excited to be expanding back to eight weeks of programs, impacting more students. We are also increasing school year programs by organizing multiple single-day rock climbing outings in the students’ communities. These added initiatives deepen the relationships students have with our program and in their communities, providing additional opportunities for connection and personal growth.

Your support provides our students and all of us involved access to something bigger than ourselves. And to be thankful for this incredible community we call Kismet:

STUDENTS ~ SUPPORTERS ~ HOUSE STAFF ~ INTERNS ~ CLIMBING GUIDES ~ VOLUNTEERS ~ PARTNER SCHOOLS ~ CORPORATIONS ~ LOCAL BUSINESSES ~ FOUNDATIONS

Please support Kismet programming and help us reach our goal of $40,000. Every gift counts toward providing housing, healthy meals, transportation, and climbing guides at no expense to our students’ families. All gifts will count towards our NH Gives appeal taking place on June 11th, New Hampshire’s annual 24-hours of non-profit giving! Thank you for making this year of programming a reality!

With gratitude,
