Volunteer with Kicking Bear

Serve alongside us to share the love of Jesus Christ, mentor young people, and help create safe, life-changing outdoor experiences.

Why Volunteer

Kicking Bear Foundation exists to proclaim the Gospel and mentor the next generation through mentorship, outdoor adventure camps, and events. Volunteers make this possible.

Whether you’re are a mentor, helping at a camp, working at an event, or simply showing up as a consistent, encouraging presence—your time becomes part of a bigger mission: pointing young people to Christ and walking with them in discipleship.

If you have a heart for youth, a willingness to serve, and a desire to make an eternal impact, we would love to connect with you.

Volunteer Testimony

“Many hunters can agree that hunting is much more than just pulling the trigger. It is the comradery, the storytelling, the marshmallow roasting over the fire, the grilling out, fishing in the pond between hunts, camping out as a group, the anticipation of the hunt… THAT is what hunting is really about. On Kicking Bear youth hunts, the kids’ get to put their phones away and escape reality for a fun-filled weekend in God’s great outdoors among some amazing men and women. The kids that are blessed with a deer, learn to show incredible respect to the animal and will feed their families for an entire year.

If you consider yourself an outdoorsman, I can almost guarantee there was a single person in your life mostly responsible for introducing you to hunting or fishing, whether that be your mother, father, aunt, uncle, brother, or sister. Who had to shake you out of bed when the alarm sounded bright and early, who taught you to shoot a bow or a gun, who was sitting next to you when you harvested your first animal or caught your first fish. The harsh reality is that not all youth are blessed with that person in their life. It is our mission to change that.”

–Austin Siewert, Kicking Bear Mentor
