We provide fun and engaging opportunities for young people to explore their own unique leadership skills.
Our programming is based on leading educational research (experiential learning, challenge/support, social-emotional learning) as well as our self-developed methods and learning practices.
Many members of the TORCH staff have worked together on student development for over 25 years, representing a diversity of ages, careers, and professions.
Our volunteers come from all walks of life and are committed to youth leadership development. They founded TORCH as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit public charity in early 2020 after working together in this space since 1995 and deciding to build their own organization.
Our mission is to empower the next generation of leaders through immersive and transformative experiences in order to cultivate personal development and meaningful connections.
Our staff structure creates opportunities for students to lead their peers and become better role models, extending the servant leadership and experiential learning into participants early adulthood and onward.
We believe that when you put students in positions to lead, they will rise to the occasion. Everything is “challenge by choice” and when students push outside of their comfort zone, that’s when the growth happens.
