Programs That Connect, Educate, and Inspire

From first hunts to environmental advocacy, our programs are designed to empower BIPOC communities with knowledge, access, and a deeper connection to the land.

R3 Mentorship Program

Our Recruit, Retain, Reactivate model pairs new and aspiring hunters with experienced mentors who provide guidance every step of the way. This program creates a welcoming, supportive environment where participants can gain confidence, develop essential skills, and build lifelong connections within the community.

Conservation & Stewardship

We’re committed to increasing BIPOC representation in environmental stewardship and conservation leadership. Through education, fieldwork, and policy engagement, our program empowers participants to advocate for public lands, protect wildlife habitats, and contribute to a more inclusive future in conservation spaces.

Workshops & Education

Our workshops bring participants into the field to learn sustainable hunting practices, safety protocols, and conservation ethics. With a strong emphasis on cultural heritage and ancestral knowledge, these sessions foster a respectful relationship with the land and equip individuals with the skills needed to thrive outdoors.
