Lincoln Hills Cares is non-profit program that is grounded in Colorado, creates opportunities for, and empowers youths who would otherwise not have the opportunity to do so because of economic, social, or family circumstances. Founded in 2008, Lincoln Hills Cares was born out of Robert F. Smith's and Matthew Burkett's desire to create educational and transformative outdoor education-focused experiences. Lincoln Hills Cares is currently on the property of the historic Lincoln Hills, a resort that was the only vacation resort west of the Mississippi River for African Americans. Lincoln Hills Cares continues in that vein through the Youth Outdoor Educational Program, the Nizhoni Equestrian Program, and the TeamWorks Service Learning Program.
