Communities of color are often most impacted by environmental inequities, yet the least involved in decision-making. To bridge this gap, Soul Trak engages underrepresented community members in sustained education, stewardship, and advocacy to develop them as outdoor leaders. A year-long program brings a diverse cohort of professionals together for workshops, immersive experiences, and community projects. As they connect in outdoor spaces, they practice becoming advocates for sustainable ecological practices and environmental justice. A similar college-level program encourages student leaders to engage their peers as ambassadors. Throughout the year, individuals and families participate in Soul Trak’s rock climbing, kayaking, and hiking excursions, with over 80% of participants exploring their respective public lands and waterways for the first time. Being in nature leaves a lasting impact on people – and everyone deserves access.
