Outdoor Afro

About this app

We are all connected to nature in cultural, spiritual, social, and biological ways. The Outdoor Afro App provides connection between Black nature leaders and nature lovers—and
everyone who loves connecting with people who love nature.
Much more than a trails app, Outdoor Afro lets you discover vetted, local nature spots, trails, and destinations for all of your favorite sports, play, lifestyle, wellness, and exercise activities.
Our mission is to inspire and support Black connection, leadership, and wellness in nature, so we’ve made it easy to find your fit in outdoor activities—on your own or with expert guides
and enthusiasts who share their recommended spots and expertise, lead guided experiences, and become part of your community.

Outdoor Afro rewards its most active users with gear, badges and even old school patches and badges, free and discounted gear and other goodies. Use Outdoor Afro to:
• Join expert-guided adventures and experiences near you
• Discover and navigate new trails, campsites, and other destinations with GPS maps
• Explore fun, safe, vetted spots for any activity—for you, friends, family, and pets
• Follow your favorite guides to get their latest recommended spots—and share your own
• Plan and build adventures and trips of your own
• Connect with people who love the activities/interests you love
• Earn patches and badges—and discounted and free gear and goodies
• Learn from the experts and get certified
• Track your outdoor adventures and time outside
And because we’re committed to strengthening Black connections to nature and protecting the nature spaces you love, you’ll also find:
• Videos and other content about Black pioneers and innovators who’ve “walked the trails" before you
• Civic leaders and organizations that can help preserve and conserve your local public lands, waterways, and wildlife

Ratings and reviews

I really want to use this app but I couldn't even get past the initial signup flow. The screen just got stuck on detecting my location and I couldn't advance.

the app needs a LOT of work. when I fill out the waiver form, in the birthday field, I can't type in my birthdate. I have to scroll thru four decades of the calendar to input my birthday. time consuming and highly annoying. please fix!

I was a long time member of Outdoor Afro when it was through meetup, after they switched to the app it seems the activities in my area dissipated over time. There used to be regular events prior. App is also very buggy
