our impact
​
We increase access to the outdoors for those who have been historically marginalized and underrepresented in outdoor spaces.
By partnering with Title 1 schools and other organizations we are lowering barriers to the outdoors for Denver's underserved youth. 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 visit and explore safe outdoor spaces so more youth can get outside.
