Excellent Kids org. Be ready to dive in, they move fast
 This is a passionate group of educators that provide a unique opportunity to urban kids to learn about the outdoors AND the importance of education. Pretty impressive credentials/resume, but with that comes a lot of work. They are always moving. A definite must see, if you are at all passionate about outdoor sports and opportunities to make a difference in urban kids lives.
