All of our outdoor events are designed for people who are new to experiencing outdoor activities and have learning components of nature conservation and basic outdoor skills. We host youth empowerment groups twice a month from October to June. Youth age ranges from 12 to 18 years old. All youth are from the Hmong American community. We provide technical assistance to Hmong farmers so they can access resources to improve their markets. Our team joined a national meeting of Farm Advocates in Minnesota so that we can expand our network of farm advocates. This year we partnered with a local gardening nonprofits to provide support to a community garden that is majority Hmong elders.
