Our GO Grants have provided funding and impacted students across North Carolina, providing life-changing outdoor learning experiences and the construction of outdoor learning structures, including agricultural facilities, archery ranges, fishing docks, and educational nature trails.
The Outdoor Activity Patch program incentivizes young North Carolinians to engage in outdoor activities such as hunting, fishing, horseback riding, hiking, and camping. With free patches for those aged 18 and under, this program rewards learning new outdoor skills and encourages young North Carolinians to try out new activities.
