RYPEN promotes personal growth, connections and leadership in a safe environment by providing challenging opportunities and tools to empower youth who have demonstrated courage and perseverance in their daily lives.

RYPEN focuses on youth between the ages of 13 and 17 years old.

The leadership development philosophy of the RYPEN program is based upon the “holistic – meaning whole person” approach (developed by Lyle Benson), with self-esteem enhancement through the small group process as the foundation. Youth will be involved in a variety of active experiential sessions addressing areas such as cooperation, goal setting, group decision making, interpersonal skill development, problem-solving attitudes, values clarification, conflict resolution, and active listening and communication. This is all accomplished through a “learn by doing” approach, and a “fun with a purpose” attitude. Throughout the weekend, participants work together in small groups paired with youth leaders from previous RYPEN Experiences. Each group also has an adult mentor.
