“The fact is, there’s an inequality of access to the great outdoors and what I loved about this program was
being able to provide
that access as a former Big.”
- Merrell Ambassador, Manuela Barón
By signing up to mentor as a Big, you can make a difference, too.
Big Brothers Big Sisters and Merrell have joined forces in a multi-year partnership that will harness the power of being outside and provide access to more youth. Merrell is working with the national one-to-one mentoring organization to create life-changing connections for young people in the United States and Canada.

How to get involved
The goal of the partnership is to break down the barriers youth face and offer
additional outdoor activities for Bigs and Littles to enjoy together. In addition to
providing shoes, product and gear, the partnership will bring more awareness and
increase equity for all youth, who may not have adequate access to nature, natural
parks, or public trails.

Visit DiscovertheForest.org to search for a forest, trail or park near you today.
