Our Goal? 10,000 BIPOC Outdoors

Why 10K? What we’re working toward is more than just a number goal.

We want more BIPOC to see people who look like them in the outdoors. We want diversity in recreation to be the rule, not the exception. Historically, there have been social and institutional barriers that have disconnected many people of color from safely and comfortably getting outside. We want to counteract that. In aiming to get 10,000 BIPOC outside, we are hoping to change the narrative around who is and belongs outdoors.
