Hi, I'm Jimmy Flatt, co-founder and executive director of Hunters of Color (HOC). Growing up in the vibrant and diverse Bay Area, I was immersed in a multicultural melting pot where ethnic and cultural differences were celebrated. However, when I ventured into the woods or joined the hunting community, that rich diversity seemed to vanish. My commitment to the communities I belong to and the environment led me to start HOC. Our mission is to ensure that the hunting and conservation space becomes a true reflection of our diverse society—a place where people from all backgrounds can come together to celebrate the outdoors and the many ways we connect with it. I'm fundraising to make this vision a reality. Your support will help us provide education, mentorship, and opportunities for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) to engage with and protect our natural world. Together, we can create a future where everyone feels welcome and empowered in the outdoors.
