Soul River Inc.

Soul River, Inc. connects inner-city youth and U.S. military veterans to the outdoors through educational and transformational experiences.

In 2020-21, Soul River applied a Roundhouse Foundation grant to develop curriculum for an Environmental Deployment Program that identifies environmental issues centered around wildlife, rivers, environmental justice and social justice, which is then integrated into a field curriculum that includes outdoor leadership skills training, fly fishing, science, congressional presentations, Indigenous relations and advocacy for youth mentored by U.S veterans.

Through genuine community and connection to the outdoors, Soul River seeks to establish and inspire a new generation of outdoor ambassadors that will advocate for Mother Nature and conservation.

“Give nature to our youth so they are able to breathe and grow. 

Give nature to our veterans so they are able to breathe and mentor. 

Give nature to both veterans and youth at the same time so they become nature’s force.”

– Chad Brown, Founder & President of Soul River, Inc.
