Community, Education and Conservation
Outdoor Promise is a 501(c)3 nonprofit focused on inspiring and supporting the next generation of outdoor leaders. Our programs are centered around equitable access for youth, families, and individuals that have been traditionally underrepresented in outdoor recreation. We believe in the power of an engaged community that works together to protect the environment starting with their own backyards.
Our Work
We believe that we cannot ask people to protect a nature they have not experienced.

Join our Free Community Hikes Initiative and explore the beauty of the Hudson Valley with guided hikes exclusively for City of Newburgh residents.
