BROOKLYN TO ALASKA (BK2AK)

INCREASING ACCESS TO OUTDOOR ADVENTURE

Our impact

Closing the adventure gap

We provide young people from Black and Brown communities of Brooklyn, a place where they can showcase their brilliance and have access to the wilderness classroom. Together, we can make the outdoors more equitable for everyone.

 
 

Life-changing experiences

Our expeditions provide hands-on education taught in the wilderness of Alaska, equipping young people with the transformational skills of resilience, grit, and self-reliance.

Next Generation of Leaders

With 16 years of experience providing recreational and excursion experiences in the Alaskan wilderness for youth from Brooklyn, BK2AK is now equipping our ‘graduates’ to become the next generation of outdoor leaders.

 

“I learned in Alaska that life is so much more than just your phone or being socially accepted by others around you. I learned how to believe in myself, and that there is a whole other world out there. A world where your worries seem so far away and your future seems so much bigger and brighter than before.”

—Anyely, 2017 Girls’ Trip participant

ASK US ANYTHING 😊 🥾 🏔️ What questions do you have about the summer trips, getting around in Alaska, rafting rivers, leadership program, wildlife, or experiencing Alaska? What do you want to know about our programs at Brooklyn to Alaska?
What's your go-to snack when you're in the wilderness? When we're on the river, the leaders are responsible for setting up camp, prepping meals and cleaning up after. Just like a guide would do on a rafting trip. As you can see, we don't go far wit
Here are 2 ways our trips create life-defining experiences. - pushing personal boundaries and exploring the wilderness of Alaska from the sky, river and by climbing to the top of a glacier - leadership is all about showing, not telling on our trips.
