Join the Movement

It’s been called “the graying of the greens,” – members of outdoor and environmental groups are aging and younger people aren’t joining them.

A new youth-led movement aims to change that.  Outdoor Nation is hosting five multi-day summits in five cities this summer to address regional outdoor issues and engage more young people in the outdoors.

Denver is one of the cities – ON delegates from around the country will be there July 22-24. Delegates are still needed – interested 18- to 28-year-olds can apply at www.outdoornation.org   The 250 Denver delegates will develop action plans; the best idea will be given $10,000 to get it started.  Lodging, food and activities will be covered for each delegate.
