Developing Leaders for Outdoor Equity

The health and vitality of all people and our great outdoors depends on the next generation of leadership in the public, private and nonprofit sectors to champion the wild and special places that we call home.

The workshop series is paired with seminars to develop transformational leadership skills of participants.
