Support Our Mission
CORE empowers youth through transformative outdoor experiences that foster personal growth, adventure, leadership, and environmental stewardship. By inspiring a lifelong connection to nature and exploration, we equip young people with the skills and confidence to guide future generations.
To achieve this, we need a community effort. Here are some ways you can help build CORE for our community:
Make a donation
Join CORE in our mission to make outdoor adventures accessible for all families, regardless of financial barriers. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, every contribution helps us expand our gear closet and fund future scholarships. Together, we can create unforgettable outdoor experiences for everyone. Donate today and be a part of this important journey!

Comment (optional)
All digital donations are subject to a 3% fee, please consider rounding up to help cover this cost.
Checks can be sent to CORE at 2018 Goodman Lake Rd, 28655.
We gladly accept in-kind donations as well! Gently used gear such as tents, backpacks, rain jackets, climbing shoes, or canoes helps equip our students and expand access to outdoor adventures. Every contribution makes a difference!
Volunteer
Want to share some incredible adventures and be a part of transformational experiences? Do you have experience leading groups in the outdoors? Love teaching and sharing your knowledge? Have a lesson inline with the mission of CORE and are interested in teaching? If so, we would love to meet you. Please email us to learn more about or schedule an opportunity to come see the program in action.
Transporting Students
While we work towards acquiring a vehicle for CORE we will need parents to drive students, this often looks like attending the trip too!
Foster Community Partnerships
CORE is available and willing to serve the community however we can! We need help connecting with service opportunities that can be accomplished by youth on Wednesday and Thursday evenings or weekends. There are a multitude of non-profits and business in Morganton doing wonderful things for our community. If you have a partnership opportunity please reach out! We are stronger together.
