Why Infrastructure Matters
Individual organizations cannot solve structural challenges alone.
Behind every outdoor program serving youth, families, and communities are systemic barriers including:
- Short-term, unstable funding
- Limited statewide visibility
- Gaps in transportation and access
- Workforce shortages
- Fragmented collaboration
Your support helps build the systems that ensure the outdoors are accessible to everyone, not just in one place, but across the country.
