The Kevin Woyjeck Explorers for Life Association
“Our mission is to support underserved Fire Explorers and Cadets by providing scholarships, essential fire equipment, and financial assistance to programs and individuals.”
The Kevin Woyjeck Explorers for Life Association is a non-profit organization started by Kevin Woyjeck’s parents, Joe and Anna Woyjeck. It was founded as a way to honor and carry on Kevin’s legacy after his line of duty passing, battling the Yarnell, AZ wildfire on June 30th, 2013, alongside 18 crewmates. KWEFLA helps young men and women successfully participate in fire career related explorer programs, just like Kevin did himself. Kevin truly enjoyed the explorer program and what it had to offer him in reaching his dreams.
Fire explorer programs give young adolescents aging 15-21 years of age access to tools that help them follow their career goals, while shadowing real firefighters volunteering their time to teach and pass on knowledge. It fosters a priceless on-hand learning environment.

What can we say!? Our family is growing and we are enjoying every minute of being grandparents!
It makes Kevin’s legacy even more important to us. Forrest, Violet, Gunnar and his little brother “arriving soon”, will all know about their Uncle Kevin thanks to the KWEFLA family.
Today is Giving Tuesday! A time when the frenzy of Black Friday and Cyber Monday pause for a moment and remind us all how important non-profit organizations are to helping others.
Because of you, KWEFLA has been able to help hundreds of programs and Explorers reach their goals to become excellent first responders.
We hope you will consider donating any amount to KWEFLA today. We have a lot more work to do and a your help means the world to all of us.

Thank you! The Woyjeck Familyđź’ś

Kevin Woyjeck Explorers for life is helping in North Carolina.
Howdy Y’all,
Pictured on the left is Asheville, North Carolina Fire Explorer Garrison Barker, along with his family. On September 27th, Hurricane Helene struck Asheville with devastating force, and Garrison and his family lost everything, including their home.
It's hard to imagine—one day, everything is normal, and the next, it's all gone. What remains is the strength they find in one another.
To assist them during this challenging time, the Kevin Woyjeck Explorers for Life Association has made a $1,000 donation directly to the family, providing them with much-needed support for lodging and food.
This would not have been possible without the generosity of our incredible supporters. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Love the smiles!
Kevin would be proud.
