Keep it Public, Wyoming: SHIFT is proud to be a member of the Keep It Public, Wyoming coalition. We believe the public lands in Wyoming don’t belong to the state of Wyoming, or a privileged few. They belong to all Americans. They are national treasures. They are our shared natural heritage. They represent the best of our democracy. We are lucky here in Wyoming to have the easy access and the freedom to explore so many of them—from our national forests to the vast, high deserts.

Our Teton regional community enjoys a highly educated workforce, yet is facing housing challenges in a highly seasonal tourist economy. Technology now enables businesses to launch and be headquartered locally while serving a global customer base.

We believe great things happen when the right people connect and ask questions.

Latino Outdoors exists to “connect cultura with the outdoors”. Latino Outdoors began with a simple idea: Where are the Latino-led organizations with conservation and the environment as a primary focus? With that question, we are working on four categories: Identify, Connect, and Support the Latino Outdoor leadership infrastructure to build community and act as support and resource network; rely on the growing community to provide mentoring opportunities to youth and young professionals; amplify programming through the existing social infrastructure and highlight the value of family-oriented programing for Latino communities; tell our stories as we define what it means to have a Latino/a identity in relation to the Outdoors.
