Our organization is working to achieve a future where there are few, if any, structural barriers to accessing public lands, healthcare, and outdoor employment opportunities. We imagine a future where the communities we serve can recreate safely, and where shared natural spaces are truely for all to enjoy. When all communities feel safe and comfortable enjoying public lands, their connection and love of the natural environment will be reborn. Our vision is one of equity, stewardship, and collective health for all communities, regardless of who they are.
Our relationship with the community is built on our outings, health programming, and culturally relevant community events. Our outings are the cornerstone of our relationship with the community, allowing us to connect with thousands each year. Vive NW’s work centers on removing barriers, facilitating education, and building community. Our adventures and health programming allow Spanish-speaking and BIPOC community members to feel a sense of ownership, comfortability, and enrichment towards nature and healthcare.
They also serve as a conduit for people to come together, where they strengthen their relationship with our team and the broader community. Finally, we have a commitment to regularly seek feedback from our community to refine and calibrate our programming.
Our staff brings lived experience to the knowledge, bias, and cultural relevancy barriers that limit access to nature and healthcare in the U.S.; therefore, we are well-positioned to continue addressing it. Our team is deeply passionate about advancing the well-being of the Latinx, migrants, refugees, and the rest of the BIPOC community. Almost all of our staff is Latinx, including eight staff born outside of the U.S., and we have two staff members in the LBGTQIA+ community.
Our team holds diverse backgrounds and life experiences that inform our community work. Therefore, we are well-positioned to understand and address the needs of BIPOC and Spanish-speaking communities. We will always integrate our lived understanding of the structural barriers that inhibit fair and equitable access to natural spaces, healthcare, and job opportunities.
