Mission and programs · 2024
Mission
Brave Trails is a national non-profit organization dedicated to LGBTQ+ youth leadership. We offer accredited summer camps, backpacking trips, family camps, mental health services, meet-up groups, and year-round leadership programming. All of our programs focus on helping LGBTQ+ youth find what they need most to thrive: their people, their place, and their passion. Nothing makes us more proud than seeing our youth take the skills they gain in our programs and use them to create meaningful change in their communities.
-
Brave Trails successfully ran a summer camp, a program combining typical camp elements and leadership elements. We recruited campers from across the United States and volunteer staff members. We awarded camper scholarships to youth that wouldn't otherwise be able to go to camp. We also continued our year-round programing, in the form of a once a month online meet up groups for lgbtq youth and allies ages 12-18.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
