Imagine an outdoor community and industry where diversity thrives, equity is the norm, anti-racism is foundational, and accessibility is universal.

This is the vision driving Opening Up The Outdoors (OUTO), a non-profit initiative founded in 2021 to confront systemic racism. We are a collective of outdoor brands and experts, Allies and Changemakers with a shared passion and love of the outdoors who are committed to creating momentum for the progression of continued inclusion within outdoor spaces.
