    OUR HISTORY

    SOARING INTO THE WILDERNESS was not always what it is today, this coorporation was established from SOARING EAGLES YOUTH a not-for-profit organisation with opperations based in Riverstone, Sydney Australia founded by Josie Valenti and co-founded by Khiara Lizzio.

     

    SOARING EAGLES YOUTH LTD, established in July 2020, with the mission and purpose to support young adults aged 14-21 years of age, to power through adversity and empower them to reach their potential through self-awareness, personal development, and wellness.

     

    Occuring twice weekly in 2 hour sessions the young adults where provided with the safe space and time to draw on the experiences and assets of peers and the community, young people are able to confront and deal with pain and suffering ensured by adversity and use their strengths to turn away from despair and anti-social behaviours, and build a purposeful life.

     

    SOARING EAGLES YOUTH LTD strived to develop individual confidence, personal development, build purposeful lives as a positive’s role models within society. Our group work and mentoring encouragement strengthen the development of positive relationship building and leadership opportunities within society promoting mental health and wellness awareness. These same aspriations made the move with the founder Josie Valenti to Forster, NSW, to develop SOARING INTO THE WILDRENESS with the founder of INTO THE WILD ADVENTURES, Aaron Dodds. Together both passions have been combined to create the ultimate youth organisation in a rural remoted area to keep our youth fully educated and with support regardless of their status.
