Did you know, youth are spending less than half as much time outdoors as 20 years ago? Blue Sky Fund is working to change that.

We are a youth development non-profit that provides transformational experiences for Richmond area youth through outdoor education. We are a team of outdoor enthusiasts, environmental educators, and nonprofit professionals dedicated to connecting Richmond youth to the outdoors. Through resilience building, leadership development, and outdoor science education, we aim to advance equity in the outdoors by developing diverse groups of environmental stewards and leaders in our community.
