Before the recent youth-led revolutions that are now happening around the world—there was Outdoor Nation. Okay, we probably didn’t influence those uprisings but we do share a belief in the power and passion of young people and our ability to start a revolution.

Founded by a community of young Outsiders, Outdoor Nation (ON) is the place to fuel your passion for the outdoors. We host awesome Summits, award $ for great ideas, lead outdoor outings, work with youth and connect with others like us—all in an effort to mobilize an outdoor movement that is fun, meaningful and impactful.

Wouldn’t it be a better world if everyone spent more time outdoors? The way we see it—definitely. So, we’re starting a revolution to make that happen, one community at a time.

Here are just a few of the ways you can benefit from Outdoor Nation:

• Find new friends based on where you live and what you like to do outdoors
• Win outdoor gear and swag from our partners in weekly contests
• Attend one of ON’s five regional youth summits
• Start an ON Club or join an existing one, and get money for group projects
• Build campaigns and advocate for local and national outdoor policies

We’re pretty sure when the ancient Greeks invented social networking, this is what they had in mind! Enjoy!
