MISSION
Hike The Good Hike is a nonprofit production and storytelling organization that shares nature-centered journeys of mental health growth, inspiring others to seek healing in the outdoors.
VISION
We envision a world where mental health stories reach people before a crisis does, where anyone carrying a heavy burden can find stories that make them feel seen, heard, and understood, helping them see the outdoors as a place to begin finding hope, support, and healing.
VALUES
AUTHENTICITY
Every story we produce must pass one test: Does this story sound true-to-life, or does it sound sanitized? We choose real life every time, even when it is messy, even when it is unfinished.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
Storytelling is not a one-way broadcast for us. Every film, podcast, and piece of content is built to awaken and share their own story to inspire others.
ACCESSIBILITY
Our stories are meant to reach people, not sit behind barriers. We create with accessibility in mind so anyone, no matter who they are, has a way in.
MINDFULNESS
Nature has a way of slowing everything down. We lean into that. Encourage viewers to be present, noticing where they are, permitting themselves to just be.
SUSTAINABILITY
We are building an organization, not a campaign. That means what stands behind HTGH, how we produce, fund, and distribute stories, has to outlast any single film or moment of attention.
TRANSPARENCY
Trust is essential when sharing vulnerable stories. We honor that trust through transparency in how we create, collaborate, make decisions, and care for the people behind each story.
INCLUSIVITY
Our work is for anyone seeking connection, healing, or a way forward. No matter where someone begins, what they carry, or how they come to us, if it is not built for everyone, it is built for no one.
