Driven by a regional grassroots network of over 2,000 families, IEKO imagines a future where youth from all backgrounds benefit from opportunities to explore the outdoors and connect with natural spaces. A future where all children and families in the Inland Empire can fully benefit from barrier-free access to the outdoors and their local natural spaces, where children thrive as a result of access to healthy environments. Through our efforts, open space will be protected for generations to come and youth will experience better physical and mental health outcomes, as well as being prepared to become future stewards.
With your help, we can make this future a reality. Every donation provides direct support to our programs, from sunding scholarships to purchasing program supplies. Help us connect the children of the Inland Empire to nature by educating, inspiring and empowering kids and their families to explore our natural spaces.
