Your HBCU Experience, Outside!
HBCU students nationwide are starting outdoor clubs, breaking barriers, and enjoying nature together. This isn’t just about getting outdoors; it’s about celebrating the ways our community gathers, rewriting the rules of what it means and looks like to enjoy nature, and making sure our voices are heard when it comes to the future of our environment.
Join the Fam
We’re thrilled to introduce the HBCUs Outside Community Platform—your private hub for all things outdoors! This is where HBCU students nationwide come together to connect, share, and explore.
Get ready for exclusive HBCUs Outside experiences, adventures led by your local campus clubs, professional workshops, and monthly giveaways.
