Syatt was founded by Marcia Hood with a clear vision: to see Black and Brown kids on the slopes and in every outdoor space where they’ve been overlooked. What began with skiing has grown into a movement rooted in family, community, and possibility, one that organizes alongside neighbors to reclaim outdoor spaces and ensure equitable access.

Led by Marcia and her daughters, Erika and Ebony, Syatt creates space for growth through activities like kayaking, rowing, scuba diving, and hiking. Our work centers youth, supports families, and encourages people to show up fully, mind, body, and spirit.

We stay grounded, speak up, and do the work, always with love, honesty, and a deep belief in the power of showing up for each other.
