Outsiders

Outsiders is an outdoor club created by and for people of color. Members will be encouraged to partake in nature-based activities as well as gain the experiences and knowledge to comfortably lead trips. California is home to gorgeous mountain ranges, coastal beaches, forests and deserts––yet there is constant lack of diversity and unequal access to nature/outdoor activities. Outsiders is a new outdoor club created by and for people of color. Noticing the lack of diversity and inclusion in outdoor activity spaces on campus, this club was created to break down racial barriers and enrich local experiences for POC-identifying folks looking to spend more time in nature. Outsiders encourages POC-identifying to partake in exciting trips, coordinate passions and hobbies, and connect with others that want to explore our gorgeous state and the outdoors. There will be coordinated trips that explore hiking, backpacking, climbing, kayaking or paddle boarding, and much more.
