Outdoor Unidos Cohort

About the Program  

Outdoor Unidos is an initiative created through a partnership between ViVe Wellness and the Colorado Mountain Club (CMC), supported by The Denver Foundation's Belonging Colorado grant.  

The program is on a mission to provide opportunities for participants from diverse cultural backgrounds to experience Colorado's great outdoors. Activities include hiking, rock climbing, water sports, camping trips, social gatherings and, of course, outdoor education.  

Participants will gain hands-on skills, connect with nature, and build relationships in a space that is welcoming, inclusive, and grounded in community values. 

Outdoor Unidos addresses these barriers by: 

• Creating safe, welcoming spaces for all identities and experience levels by providing essential resources and representation 

• Promoting cultural exchange, mutual understanding between newcomers and established communities guided by bridging differences concepts 

• Empowering participants with outdoor knowledge, leadership skills, and confidence 

• Celebrating diversity in the outdoors through shared experiences, encouraging uniqueness and fostering common grounds
