OUT in the Wild provides community based programs that teach outdoor technical skills in an inclusive and equitable environment. Many people feel intimidated by the outdoors for many reasons. Often this is because they don’t feel welcome because of historical exclusion, or because they don’t feel confident and comfortable in their skills to succeed. Additionally, many haven’t had access to the knowledge and skill set in the first place. OUT in the Wild hopes to fill in the gaps in the outdoor industry. Through our programs we hope to create more visibility for members of underrepresented communities, particularly the LGBTQIA2S+ community.
