Our Young Rangers Program (YRP)

 

 

 

Our Young Rangers Program is aimed at supporting young people in Aberdeen from

deprived background . These are young people who due to their family circumstances, past experience etc are now experiencing a mental health issues.

 

The program motto is  to "Socialise, Explore, Learn, and Protect!"  

 

Young people are trained to protect parks, continue to learn about parks, and share their own ranger story with friends and family.

Our Young Ranger program is an activity based program planned to be conducted in different National Parks. Young people completes series of activities during a park visit, share their answers with a Park Ranger, and receive Hand of Solace Young Ranger Badge and Young Ranger Certificate.

 Young Rangers are typically between the ages of 5 to 16. 

Most of our visits are over a weekend while some are day trips.
