Creating more representation in the outdoors needs to be a community effort. However, one of the easiest ways to start making a difference for marginalized communities is to amplify, support, and volunteer with organizations that aim to make the outdoors a more diverse and inclusive space. If you're here thinking, "but I'm only one person—what good does that do," it's important to remember that change doesn’t happen from one singular action. It’s the culmination of small actions from thousands of people. If you need help finding a place to start, here are a few BIPOC outdoor organizations we’ve found on Instagram that you can support today.

Supporting these groups can be as simple as donating what you can (even $5 helps), amplifying their message, or helping at events.
