Environmental Traveling Companions (ETC) opens the beauty and challenge of the great outdoors to people with disabilities and youth from under-resourced backgrounds. Every year, more than 3,000 people join ETC to raft whitewater rivers, ski alpine meadows, kayak the waters of the Golden Gate and Tomales Bay, and build leadership skills. ETC collaborates with over 100 social service agencies and schools who rely upon our programs to provide a vital extension of their own services. We also provide outdoor education programs for school groups and youth from under-resourced backgrounds.
