Reckless Rainbows

Overview of Outdoor Idea

To provide workshops and trips to queer youth that aim to build community, break down notions of internalized phobias, and provide a safe space for its participants to facilitate this process.

The Specifics: What will the $5,000 fund?

Workshops and backcountry trips with a focus on the development of trust, communication skills, teamwork, brainstorming ideas, increased locus of control, awareness of self and others, and leadership capacities have been proven time and time again to provide participants with the tools necessary to make drastic changes in their lives and the lives of those around them. A wide variety of such programs exist that target other marginalized communities, and the evidence that proves the validity and positive impact these programs have is vast. Programs tailored specifically to queer youth would elicit those same powerful effects.
