Who is NEO?
Our Mission
NEO is dedicated to helping people of all ages and backgrounds lead more active outdoor-oriented lives for better health, happiness, and wellbeing.
How do we do it?
NEO is free to join, and we host a variety of events and activities that are open to the public. We also team up with schools, government entities, and other organizations to host special events.
We strive to:
-
make all activities fun, safe, and affordable
-
host tons of events year round, rain or shine
-
provide plenty of educational classes
-
give hands-on training with NEO outdoor gear
-
provide equipment for people who have none
-
partner with other great organizations like the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department
Appreciation and Inclusion
Since we work with people from all walks of life, we include diversity elements in many of our activities. This promotes a greater understanding between participants, no matter what their backgrounds or differences. We help turn "tolerance" into "appreciation."
