YES Nature to Neighborhoods is a brand dedicated to nurturing leaders who champion the wellbeing of our community. Our mission is to empower Richmond youth, adults, and families to lead healthy, connected lives, motivate change in their neighborhoods, and inspire a safe and thriving community. Through our various programs, including youth, adult, and family programs, we cultivate leadership skills, provide year-round training, and offer transformative experiences in nature.

We are committed to increasing access to and breaking down barriers that historically excluded individuals from the outdoors. Additionally, we aim to collaborate at the forefront of the movement to promote equity and inclusivity in the outdoors. By reclaiming our connection to the earth and harnessing the healing power of nature, we develop empowered and compassionate leaders.

Our values of inclusion, intentionality, effective communication, integrity, and a holistic approach guide our work, ensuring that we create a welcoming and collaborative environment for all. Join us in creating a more equitable and connected community through the transformative power of nature
