Re: [at-l] Minorities on the trail



Both ATC and NYNJTC have outreach efforts to attract minorities.  That
does not mean there have been any breakthough successes.  I too have
met mostly inner city kids in groups, very few individual families.  I
have worked on trail building projects with inner city kids and I
suspect that one of the prime impediments is fear of the outdoors, as
much or more than I fear the inner city enviroment that they are used
to.
