Community Initiatives

This grant will support Latino Outdoors, a project of Oakland, California-based Community Initiatives. Latino Outdoors works to inspire, connect, and engage Latinx communities in the outdoors and embrace cultura y familia as part of the outdoor narrative, ensuring Latinx history, heritage, and leadership are valued and represented. Through a network of committed volunteers, the organization is a contributor in the movement to achieve more equitable access to the outdoors and engages and empowers people to enjoy and advocate for land and water conservation.
