Black Hikers Unite Inc.
Welcome to Black Hikers Unite (BHU), founded by Kenneth Felton to connect Black and Brown youth, young adults ages 12 to 24, and families with nature. We organize hikes, camping trips, and outdoor activities that promote physical wellness, mental well-being, leadership development, and environmental stewardship. We create welcoming outdoor experiences where youth and families explore, connect, grow, and build lifelong relationships with nature.
Our goal is to build a vibrant and supportive community where individuals can share their stories, resources, and passions. We are dedicated to creating Blue Zones—areas where communities thrive in physical, mental, and spiritual health—starting with our own.
Black Hikers Unite empowers Black and Brown youth, families, and communities through meaningful outdoor recreation and nature-based experiences. We expand access to safe, engaging outdoor activities that promote physical health, confidence, leadership, personal growth, and lasting connections. Our mission is to help every participant build a lifelong relationship with recreation and the outdoors.
We organize hikes, camping trips, and outdoor activities, making nature accessible to those who might not have the opportunity to explore it otherwise.
We offer programs that promote mental, physical, and spiritual health, helping our members lead healthier, happier lives.
We create a supportive network where individuals can connect, share stories, and inspire one another, fostering a sense of belonging and unity.
