The Nuestro Legado: Outdoor Equity Summit’s objective is to convene direct service program providers, business owners, funders, recreationists, community members, and other invested stakeholders from across the state to explore and discuss the lack of representation of non-white and historically underrepresented groups in the Outdoor Industry. The Summit will dive into a mix of issues surrounding the lack of pipelines existing for underrepresented youth and adults, barriers to participation (including but not limited to: language accessibility, culturally appropriate outreach and engagement, access to adaptive programming/equipment, finance/costs, and types of programming offered), and the potential solutions to these issues.
This year's programming will be spread across two days:
Day 1 (Friday 3/20) is consistent with our previous years' programming and will focus on industry topics to help our communities brainstorm, chat, and learn about different strategies to increase equity in your organization and programs. This program will run Friday March 20th from 9-3:30pm with Get Outdoors Leadville! hosting outdoor activities from 3:30-5pm.
Day 2 (Saturday 3/21) is new and will be a Community Film Night that showcases different experiences in the outdoors and includes a panelist conversation. This program will run during the evening of Saturday March 21st.
