our impact
We strive to increase access to the outdoors for those who have been historically marginalized and underrepresented in outdoor spaces.
Through partnerships with Title 1 schools and other organizations working with underserved youth in the Denver area, we are lowering barriers to the outdoors. Sharing our knowledge, providing gear and transportation, and covering costs allows more youth to access the outdoors. We believe everyone should feel comfortable and welcome in outdoor environments and will continue to create safe spaces so more youth can get outside.
