Brittany French - CEO of Pass It On Outdoor Mentors

Brittany was born and raised in Dodge City, Kansas where she grew up enjoying the outdoors in many ways. She has 10+  years of experience in non-profit work. Brittany attended Friends University where she obtained a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology and Sociology and played softball for the Falcons. She continued on to receive a Master’s Degree in Sociology from Wichita State University.

Her work with Outdoor Mentors began in 2015 when she got involved as a volunteer mentor and has been full-time with the organization since 2019. Brittany resides in Wichita, KS with her husband, Ben, daughter Finley, and pup, Magnolia.

Brittany started as a volunteer with Pass It On Outdoor Mentors Program in 2015

where she quickly found her true passion by mentoring in the outdoors. As an

outdoorswoman, she believes that it is our responsibility to step up and serve

the youth in our community who would not otherwise be served in the outdoors.

She firmly believes that with that collective effort, we will make a

generational impact in the outdoors.

To empower young people

through outdoor experiences & mentorship. By using outdoor experiences as a

platform to mentor young people of diverse backgrounds we are making a

generational impact through the outdoors and passing on our outdoor heritage.

We are Pass It On - Outdoor Mentors and we are breaking

barriers for youth across the Midwest in the outdoors. We are a 501(c)3 non-profit organization

empowering youth through outdoors experiences and mentorship. By using outdoor

experiences as a platform to mentor young people of diverse backgrounds we are

making generational impact through the outdoors and passing along our outdoor

heritage. Founded in 2002, we have a goal to serve 100,000 young people

outdoors by 2033.

We

are passionate about equipping the next generation with outdoor opportunities

through mentorship. We have scaled our program in Kansas, Iowa, and Wisconsin

and hope to continue to grow into other states. What makes our program unique

from other youth mentoring programs is that we have dedicated Program

Coordinators that plan new and continued opportunities for kids who are 11

years of age and older, who have completed Hunter Education. Any youth

interested in getting involved in the outdoors can participate with us as many

times as they want. All our events are FREE. We find access for hunting,

fishing, and shooting sports, line up vetted volunteer mentors to lead these

opportunities, and communicate with all parties about the details of the event.

We have great resources at our disposal to coordinate these events efficiently

for inexperienced youth or for youth who have dabbled in the outdoors. Our

coordination of these events provides confidence to first time hunters and

parents/guardians which empowers the volunteers to do what they are most

passionate about, mentor.

You can join us by becoming a mentor, providing

access, or signing your child up to participate in our program! It is

up to all of us to pass it on to the next generation!

His hunting articles can be found at Eastman's Hunting Journal, Hunting Life Media, GoHunt.com and GOABC. His intimate knowledge of big game hunting in the Rockies allowed him to be an Insider contributor for goHunt.com.
He has served on nationally known conservation boards, is a Life Member of RMBS, WSF, RMEF and NRA. He was elected to serve as a SE Regional member of the Colorado Sportsman's Roundtable.
He is recognized in the whitetail world as the very successful outdoor communicator and influencer as Host, Executive Director, and Co-Founder of the highly acclaim podcast, Whitetail Rendezvous Podcast.
