TILT Outdoors

Tilt Outdoors is an outdoor adventure program that provides intentional experiences in nature that lead to transformation in the lives of youth in high-risk situations. Tilt Outdoors seeks to fight the Youth Violence barrier in the Garnet neighborhood by providing a space for teens to build community with their peers, learn from positive adult role models, and participate in outdoor adventure activities that allow teens to flourish. Through volunteers that are trained in trauma management, Tilt Outdoors aims to help students replace destructive patterns of life with thriving ones.
