What we do
Ignite changemakers
Pro-Justice approaches in nature-based journeys
We partner with individuals, organizations and coalitions—especially those early in their pro-justice journeys—to build the confidence and practical skills to embed equity into nature-based programs and practices. The pro-justice journey is an ongoing process of learning and unlearning throughout our lives. Through workshops grounded in cultural humility and anti-racist learning, we support changemakers in designing relevant, accessible experiences, using inclusive language with care, and examining white supremacy culture and its impacts and seeking antidotes that provide healing. Together, we can create real pathways to belonging in the outdoors.

What our clients say
The Friends of Berkeley Tuolumne Camp and the founding partner of Inclusion Outdoors first partnered together in 2018 to help create Outdoor Engagement and Environmental Stewardship for Berkeley Youth and Teens and UC Berkeley Students! That partnership continues, and the threads of the relationships that were built are still thriving to this day. The goal was to introduce UC students and Berkeley High schoolers to great, outdoor environments, from tree planting and restoration projects to trail building and forest health practices. We’ve been able to serve hundreds of students for new outdoor experiences, and help start some careers in outdoor education as well as lifetime enjoyment! We cannot thank Inclusion Outdoors enough for all their passion and partnership in these efforts! They literally are making a huge difference in our community and in the lives of everyone they touch.

Examples of our work igniting changemakers
-
Pro-Justice Workshops
We offer a series of pro-justice workshops on topics that are most relevant to our clients’ community and priorities. For example, we worked with the steering committee and program providers in the Richmond Outdoors Coalition to generate, practice and implement strategies for supporting English language learners in outdoor and environmental education.
-
Antidotes to White Supremacy Culture
We use resources from Tema Okun and other scholars to engage with our clients around the characteristics and antidotes of White Supremacy Culture, which then serves as the basis of creating shared meeting agreements, core values and decision making processes.
