Reach Out for a More Inclusive Outdoors
We all have something to give when it comes to making the outdoors more inclusive and accessible for all. But we don’t have to reinvent the wheel, we can reach out and support existing organizations. In this episode, created in partnership with Sierra Designs, learn about four incredible nonprofits doing the work to help create more opportunities in the outdoors for People of Color, LGBTQ+, disabled, and low income families. But more than simply learning about the work that others are doing, our hope is that this episode will help you think about how you can do to make “reaching out” a practice in your own outdoor lives.
She Explores · Thera Zylstra, Patricia Cameron, Alecia McConnell, Gale Straub, Heather Balogh Rochfort, Perry Cohen, Brooke Froelich Murray
