Become a Sustaining Member
GayOutdoors has no paid staff. Your sustaining membership is our main source of operating funds — supporting the events, parties, discounts, and the website our community relies on.
Where your support goes
All sustaining memberships are used for member parties, raffle prizes, discounts, website maintenance, communication tools, and any other fun thing we can dream up. To maintain activities and programs, we depend on our sustaining members — our main source of operating funds.
Free adventures
Over 100 hiking, backpacking, camping, and paddling outings every year.
Member parties
Socials across the Northeast with appetizers, raffles, and guest speakers.
Partner discounts
Notch Hostel, HE Travel, Frog Meadow, Mountainside Campground, and more.
An outdoorzy community
A safe, accessible, visible community at Pride events and Pride Hikes.
Skill building
Beginner workshops: hiking, backpacking, winter hiking, map & compass, and more.
Protecting the outdoors
Cleanups, trail adoption, and advocacy for the places we love.
