Where Are the Women?
Addressing the National Shortage of Outdoor Instructors

In the outdoor industry, a significant challenge persists: a scarcity of women working as outdoor instructors.

 

It's a problem that demands attention and action.

 

Alongside this gender disparity, there is also a concerning lack of representation from ethnically diverse communities within the field. But how can we bring about change?

 

How can we attract more women to the outdoor industry and foster a more diverse and inclusive workforce?
