WELCOME TO OPEN OUTSIDE!

We are an outdoor education and professional development program on a mission to cultivate a deep sense of belonging to nature among young people.

We partner with organizations that support youth who face historical and contemporary challenges to accessing the natural world.

We run trainings, mentorship programs, gear libraries and co-led outdoor adventures to help educators, youth workers, and families recognize and harness the power they already possess to facilitate impactful outdoor trips and experiences.

We hope that all of our partners outgrow us and that one day our services will no longer be needed.

We want to help YOU take your young people outside!
