Youth Outside

Youth Outside advances racial justice and equity in the outdoor and environmental movement through programs such as its Cultural Relevancy Series — a set of comprehensive workshops, paired with coaching, for organizations to strengthen their understanding and practice of cultural relevancy as it pertains to the outdoor field — and the Liberated Paths Grantmaking Program, which supports organizations working to create a more just and sustainable outdoor and environmental movement.

Youth Outside, based in Oakland, California, provides grantmaking, capacity building, and training to promote healthy lives and inspire future champions of the planet. This grant allows the organization to launch new conservation-focused grantmaking program for grassroots advocacy and outdoor education organizations serving communities of color.
