Inclusive Outdoor Programs | Empowering BIPOC Youth in Calgary
Based in Mohkinstsis (Calgary, Alberta), the Multicultural Trail Network (MTN) is Canada’s first non-profit dedicated to empowering diverse youth between the ages of 14–24 by providing access to the great outdoors.
Our inclusive programs support youth who face racial and cultural discrimination, especially those identifying as Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour (BIPOC). BIPOC stands for Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour — communities that have historically been underrepresented in outdoor and leadership spaces.
Led by a committed team of BIPOC adults, our mission is to dismantle barriers to entry and create meaningful opportunities for young people to experience nature, build relationships, and discover their strengths through outdoor adventure.
Through our programs, BIPOC youth in Mohkinstsis and surrounding areas can participate in outdoor activities such as hiking, camping, rock climbing, snowshoeing, ice skating, and more.
If you’re looking to become an ally for BIPOC youth and support their access to outdoor experiences, explore the many ways you can get involved.
