To create safe and empowering outdoor experiences for Black hikers while fostering a strong, supportive community.

A world where Black hikers feel at home in every outdoor space.

Although many essential principles guide our work, we emphasize the following values as core to our efforts:

• Passion: Our success depends on our willingness to keep learning and work toward accomplishing our vision.

• Empower: We have a responsibility to ensure that our hikers feel empowered and poised on every adventure.

• Accountability: We are accountable for eliminating unproductive behavior that decreases a hiker's confidence.

• Community: We work towards creating a village within our community so that everyone can benefit from the available resources.

• Evolving: Our work will be the difference needed to improve our community and outdoor experience.
