Kylie Yang joined GOCO as programs coordinator in 2024. 

She grew up in southeast Virginia where she frequented Shenandoah National Park and developed a deep love for the outdoors. After completing an Appalachian Trail thru-hike in 2015, Kylie worked on the trail as a ridgerunner connecting people to the outdoors. She also worked for the New York-New Jersey Trail Conference, Continental Divide Trail Coalition, and most recently REI. 

She's worked on local, state, and federal trails and has a strong passion for increasing access and equity in the outdoors. She's an organizer for Outdoor Asian Colorado and served as a Mentor for Next 100 Colorado.

Kylie lives in Denver. When she's not working, you'll find her backpacking, rock climbing, or riding her bike.
