My Outdoor Colorado
At My Outdoor Colorado, we believe everyone deserves to feel a sense of belonging in nature. With your support, we’re creating more paths for youth and families in Cole and Westwood to connect with the outdoors, each other, and their community.
About My Outdoor Colorado
My Outdoor Colorado (MOC) is a coalition of partners and neighbors working together to create more paths to the outdoors. In Cole and Westwood, we connect youth and families to nature through community-led programs, shared resources, and meaningful relationships—so everyone can feel a sense of belonging outside. MOC does this by partnering across organizations, centering neighborhood leadership, and creating welcoming, culturally responsive opportunities that foster belonging, confidence, and long term connection to the outdoors in the Cole and Westwood communities.
