Outdoor F.U.T.U.R.E. Initiative and Black-led organizations that connect youth and families to nature based experiences (recording)
Since 2020, the OUTDOOR F.U.T.U.R.E. Initiative (OFI) has sought to build the public and political momentum for the creation of a national outdoor opportunity fund. The fund would ensure large-scale long-term investments in programs that all youth and their families across the nation, regardless of their income or zip code, benefit from nature based experiences that promote health, education, and career-building. This series raises awareness of OFI through the lived experience of those who are directly benefiting from state based outdoor equity programs. The series also seeks to deepen SORP member understanding and application of justice, equity, diversity inclusion, and accessibility principles to their professional and personal lives.
