Activities in Nature
Outdoor Afro’s programs are designed to reconnect Black people and Black communities to nature year-round. These original programs amplify Black joy and healing in the outdoors. With our volunteer leaders, local participants, and dedicated supporters, our national programming reinforces our mission to celebrate and inspire Black connections and leadership in nature.
Annual Activations:
Outdoor Afro Leadership Training equips more than 100 volunteer leaders with the tools needed to guide local communities in nature safely and sustainably.
Making Waves is a national program ensuring every child and caregiver in Outdoor Afro’s sphere of influence learns to swim.
