The Problem?
The way we learn isn’t linear, nor the way we experience the outdoors, and that should be reflected in the educational opportunities provided, and the pathways available.
Gritt exists to break down barriers, build and foster communities, and support educational opportunities for youth looking to find their place in the world.
Gritt was founded on the belief that outdoor experiences are a critical part of education—and should be accessible to everyone. We deliver world-class educational events and mentoring that prioritise inclusion and access.
Gritt is made possible through the generous support of our sponsors, donors, event partners, and the many volunteer hours that the team behind Gritt put in. If you are interested in supporting us, get in touch - any contribution helps us make a lasting impact.
