Help us spread our mission and connect with the community.

Our Ambassadors

In our second year of the ambassador program, we are thrilled to continue building upon the success of the inaugural year. In 2022, we proudly onboarded eight dedicated ambassadors, who were crucial in ensuring that Hunters of Color staff could provide invaluable support to our volunteers. Together, we have been steadfast in our mission to make the outdoors accessible and enjoyable for everyone.

Ambassadors in Action

In 2022, thanks to the dedication and hard work of our ambassadors, our state-based Communities experienced incredible growth. These Communities—made up of passionate hunters, anglers, and conservationists—welcomed approximately 1,000 new hunters and conservationists. This milestone highlights the powerful impact our ambassadors have in driving our mission forward and creating lasting, positive change.

To connect with an ambassador in your state, please don't hesitate to contact us at info@huntersofcolor.org. Together, let's continue making the outdoors an inviting and inclusive space for everyone to enjoy.
