About TYF
We are fourth generation adventure pioneers, committed to using the power of play and learning in wild places to reconnect people to each other, our environment, and the scale of shift needed to re-balance wellbeing and the economy.
We changed the world of adventure when we introduced coasteering to the world, and we’re doing it again now through sustainability and impact education. TYF are a dating agency for nature. For over 30 years, we have worked with adults, families, education and business, building skills, courage and curiosity for a lifetime of adventures in action & thought.
As a Founding B Corp, we use the power of business to make a positive impact for our employees, community and nature, and inspire others do the same. We’re recruiting for passionate, capable and committed people to work, learn and make a difference in one of the world’s best adventure playgrounds, on the western edge of Wales.
