  • Skowhegan Outdoors

    With the goal of community transformation through outdoor recreation in mind, Main Street Skowhegan launched the Skowhegan Outdoors AmeriCorps Program in 2019 in partnership with Volunteer Maine, the Outdoor Sport Institute, and other local organizations energized by the prospect of ensuring equitable access to the outdoors via free, guided outdoor activities and gear. In 2022, Skowhegan Outdoors hosted 169 free outdoor programs and served 1,801 area residents. Through this initiative, we are catalyzing a shift toward a healthier and more active lifestyle accessible to all Somerset County area residents.
