Fresh Tracks provides young indigenous, rural, and urban diverse leaders with cross-cultural community power building, leadership development, civic engagement, and action training. Rooted in the healing power of nature and indigenous values. Fresh Tracks was inspired in 2015 by a call from President Obama for bold new programs that use the outdoors to broaden horizons for young Americans facing persistent opportunity gaps. It began with a successful pilot that took two cohorts of young adults from Los Angeles and Alaska on a shared journey from southern California to the Arctic Circle, it now supports youth and community driven action to over 200 youth movement leaders, in 46 communities across 24 states. Now in its fifth year, the initiative officially joined the Forum for Community Solutions team in spring 2020
