MISSION

Latino Outdoors inspires and connects comunidades to the outdoors, centering cultura, celebrating familia and heritage, and uplifting our history and leadership as part of the outdoor experience.

VISION

Latino Outdoors envisions a world where our comunidades experience nature as a safe, inclusive, and welcoming space, where we can share and celebrate our stories while fostering leadership and building a vibrant community of people who love and care for the outdoors.

SOMOS COMUNIDAD

We are a community first and an organization second. We strive for an outdoors that is safe and welcoming for all people, regardless of race, creed, nationality, language, gender, sexual orientation, or ability. We celebrate diverse forms of outdoor engagement and believe meaningful outdoor experiences make us stronger, healthier, and happier.

Latino Outdoors provides for a focused conversation on the Latinx experience without being limited to it. Our community's voices are varied while remaining united in celebrating diversity and declaring it a core tenet of Latino Outdoors.

The #RecreateResponsibly guidelines offer a starting point for contributing to an outdoors that is safe and welcoming for everyone.
