While many assume the outdoors is enjoyed equally by all, the truth is that People of Color, members of the LGBTQIA+ community, and marginalized people of various backgrounds, faiths, and abilities comprise a disproportionately low number of those who can truly enjoy the outdoors. The Together Outdoors Coalition was created to take on this opportunity. We work together to make the outdoors a more inviting place through education, inclusion, equity, and action
Raising awareness of equity and inclusion issues in the outdoors
““Everyone in America deserves to feel welcome in the outdoors. It is more important than ever that the outdoor industry, manufacturers, local leaders, nonprofits and individuals work together to create a more inclusive and welcoming outdoor experience.”

Guiding the way forward
Tools to help us get there
Together Outdoors is working to curate and create resources for industry professionals and individuals.
“As outdoor recreation leaders, we play a key role in ensuring that everyone has equal opportunities to access and enjoy the outdoors. Through the Together Outdoors Coalition, we can amplify our efforts with cross-sector industries to help make outdoor experiences inclusive and truly welcoming to all.”
