Frequently Asked Questions
I’m not black, a woman, or a person of color; can I still join?
Black women and communities of color have historically experienced the most damaging inequities in wellness, outdoors and income and therefore are the communities we prioritze.
Outdoor Besties welcomes co-conspirators who may not share those identities to amplify the important work we do.
do i need to have a certification to host an activity?
Creditials are not required, but passion is. We do however, encourage certifications and trainings - click here to view our recommendations. If you have certifications, please include them in your profile as it shows competence and increases trust.
Are all the activities hosted outdoors?
All activities should have an outdoor element to them either partially or fully.
Who Are Ambassadors?

What is the refund policy?
You may request a full refund for activities purchased on the Outdoor Besties platform 48 hours (2 days) prior to the start date/time of the activity.
Unfortunately, we cannot grant refunds for payments made outside of the Outdoor Besties platform.
what happens if my activity needs to be canceled due to weather?
Our goal is to safely embrace the diversity of all seasons provided by locations of our outdoor-based activities. However, it may be necessary for Ambassadors to cancel an activity if weather presents an environment that would be unsafe to continue.
In those cases, your Ambassador should notify you about the need to cancel your activity and you will receive an automatic refund for the scheduled activity if you have paid on the Outdoor Besties platform.
Memberships are not affected and will not be reimbursed for one cancelled activity .
