About
The African American Outdoors Association seeks to encourage and support the efforts of African Americans to increase their fitness, health and wellness by pursuing vigorous outdoor activities that bring them into the natural environments of the Pacific Northwest.
The impetus for the creation of the AAOA is the disproportionately high rates of deadly diseases among African Americans, including heart disease, cancer, and diabetes. Through safe, educational and enjoyable group outdoor adventures, the AAOA promotes Physical activity and stress reduction, as well as encourages an appreciation of the Northwest’s natural beauty.
