Through culture-rooted outdoor experiences, Syatt grows stewards and leaders for people and nature.
A world where the outdoors reflects us, restores us, and is restored by us.
We are present because you matter
Showing up with love is the work.
We agitate to honor our ancestors
We rise because they refused to fall.
We can, we will
We move with purpose.
TeamHood—a dynamic Mother-Daughter Trio—ignites the passion behind Syatt
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.
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.
