GON assists the City of Las Vegas with the Las Vegas Community Healing Garden. In 2019, we partnered with the University of Nevada at Las Vegas to publish Healing Las Vegas. This book chronicles the project of hope that bloomed after the October 1, 2017 tragedy, when a lone gunman ended 58 lives and changed so many forever. The Garden reminds us that nature and the outdoors are a critical part of the human experience connecting us to a deeper part of ourselves and to each other.
Community Engagement: In 2019, Get Outdoors Nevada served as the philanthropic partner for Lake Mead National Recreation Area; partnered with the City of Las Vegas and the Las Vegas Community Healing Garden Committee; and continued to amplify the business voice in support of the outdoors and our public lands through the Nevada Outdoor Business Coalition. These initiatives built on GON's existing community engagement projects such as the Vegas Valley Rim Trail, the River Mountains Loop Partnership, the Lower Colorado River Water Trail Alliance, and Get Outdoors Nevada Day. GON also formed a new partnership with dT-Alley, serving as the non-profit partner for this project that is activating an alley space as a vibrant outdoor place in downtown Las Vegas
GON education programs focus primarily on youth, with approximately 83 percent of those served through our education program considered at-risk or underserved. In 2019, 606 education programs introduced over 15,000 young people and community members to Nevada's outdoors. 72 outreach and tabling events reached 45,000 people, and our microgrant program supported 96 buses that brought over 4,579 youth (in some cases with their families) to the outdoors. Since 2012, GON has provided programs for 2,691 education programs for 122,734 youth, and supported 636 bus trips transporting 26,576 participants to outdoor classrooms and informal education sites throughout Clark County.
