Deadline: 22 July 2019
BOGS Footwear is currently inviting applications for the BOGS Impact Fund for providing outdoor education program to lower income youth with opportunities to get outside to learn play and grow.
The motto of this program is to provide resources and dollars to remove barriers, so all kids can have access to outdoor education opportunities. The Projects engage underserved/low-income youth and encourage those youth to grow and learn outdoors throughout their lives. Many young people — especially underserved and low-income communities — don’t develop a relationship with the outdoors due to lack of education, access and resources.
