OAK is always looking to engage our members, further our mission, and connect more kids to the outdoors. Please take a look below to see the many different actions that you and/or your organization can take to engage with OAK and advocate for accessible and safe outdoor spaces for kids, youth and families.

1 Million Kids Outdoors!

OAK is so excited to launch our One Million Kids Outdoors initiative, a collective effort from our partners nationwide to get 1 million kids outdoors this year. This is an ambitious goal, and we need YOU to make it happen. Learn more and join the movement here.

Local Impacts Story Collecting

OAK is collecting stories that showcase the impacts of President Trump’s recent executive orders, federal funding freeze and federal layoffs. These messages will be sent directly to Congress and, with your permission, will be used to strategically advocate for and defend programs that connect kids, youth and families to nature. Share your story here.

Every Kid Outdoors 

The Every Kid Outdoors program is crucial to the success of OAKs mission to connect children, youth and families to nature. OAK and its members are working to both expand the number of families currently utilizing the program, and advocating for state and federal legislation that will expand the impacts of this program. To get involved, check out the EKO toolkit here.
