Program Spotlight: Generation Wild
Launched in 2015, the Generation Wild program invests in coalitions of youth-serving organizations called ‘Generation Wild communities’ that offer free or low-cost outdoors programs and pathways to careers to their local communities.
Twelve existing Generation Wild communities have delivered over 7,000 programs to 270,000 participants. In 2024, GOCO awarded planning grants to four coalitions to advance their missions and explore joining the Generation Wild network. With this program, GOCO aims to help more of Colorado’s kids and families experience the benefits of nature and outdoor play.
