Wheelable Wilderness Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to dismantling barriers to the outdoors. Based in Bowling Green, KY, we provide Kentucky’s first and only free Trackchair lending program and are currently developing the Nation's first fully all-inclusive campground. Our mission is to ensure that everyone, regardless of physical ability, can experience the restorative power of nature with dignity and independence.
We are in an exciting phase of growth and are seeking passionate, dedicated individuals to join our Board of Directors. As a member of the board, you will play a critical role in shaping the future of inclusive recreation in Kentucky. We are looking for leaders who are ready to roll up their sleeves and help us build a world where the wilderness is truly "wheelable."
