There is no job harder than being a parent, even more so as a single parent. But one nonprofit is looking to lend a helping hand.
Majesty Outdoors is a mentorship program for fatherless youth, that gives kids up to 18 years of age the opportunity to participate in various outdoor activities.
The Robstown chapter began in January after members of Majesty Outdoors received feedback from residents wanting the program to be a part of the community. One thing that Majesty Outdoors noticed, was that some children in Robstown were not being raised by either parent and were being raised by their grandparents.
The nonprofit has several chapters all throughout the Coastal Bend including in Alice, Flour Bluff, and most recently opening a new chapter in Portland.
Youth that are aged 8-18 years that are being mentored are called ‘Tidechangers’ and meet on a weekly basis. ‘Estrellas’ refers to the mothers, or grandmothers and they are involved in a life coaching and empowerment program under the umbrella of Majesty Outdoors. Youth under the age of 8 years of age are referred to as ‘Puddle jumpers’.
