Power To Be

Power To Be Power To Be began in 1998 with an idea: help people living with a disability or barrier access nature. Thank you for supporting Power To Be!

Power To Be is a registered charity that creates access to nature for youth, families, and adults living with cognitive, physical, financial, and social barriers. The idea grew into a community, connecting participants to adventures and supporters to opportunities, collectively redefining our definition of ability. Based in Victoria and Vancouver, we are a non-profit organization that empowers peo

ple to explore their limitless abilities through inclusive adventures rooted in nature. We believe finances shouldn’t prevent anyone from accessing nature, and we work to remove cognitive, physical and social barriers to the outdoors, supporting participants to explore who they are and what they are capable of with the support of our staff, volunteers and each other. Adaptive Recreation offers inclusive adventures for people aged seven and up who live with a barrier or disability. Wilderness School offers a three-year cohort-based program for youth in Grades 8-10 who live with financial and/or social barriers. Both program streams focus on building confidence and community connections, while exploring nature. Activities in include kayaking, canoeing, camping, climbing, hiking and more through day and overnight adventures.

We are feeling incredibly honoured and thankful today!
So much gratitude to the 100+ Women Who Care Victoria community. The generosity in that room was incredible and the funds raised will make a real and lasting difference for our participants.
At Power To Be, that support means more people getting outside, building confidence, finding connection and feeling they belong. It opens doors that might not have felt possible before.
We were beautifully represented by one of our volunteers and I felt so proud seeing our community shared with such heart. And to be alongside Luther Court Society and the 1000 X 5 Children’s Book Recycling Project… what amazing work across our region!
Thank you for what you are making possible!

At Power To Be, the autistic community represents one of the largest communities we support, and voices like Adam’s remind us why this work matters.

Our long-time participant Adam talks about how autism shapes the way he experiences the world, and how beautiful it is when we can share this with others so that people may see things in a way they never have before. He reminds us that how we interact with others is important - and that even the smallest acts of inclusion can have big impact in creating belonging.

Adam shares why nature access matters - because true inclusion means that everyone deserves the opportunity to get outside and experience the calm, connection, and possibility that nature brings.

In other words: Everyone Belongs in Nature! 💚💙💚
