Improving Access to the Outdoors | Inclusive Outdoors Project

Representation is a key piece to making the outdoors a more inclusive and welcoming place. While seeing more diversity in the world of professional athletes helps, it’s equally important to have this diversity in the groups we join in the outdoors. That’s where the mission of Inclusive Outdoors Project starts, as they strive to bridge the gap between affinity spaces and outdoor organizations. In this episode, Inclusive Outdoors Project founders Sophia Bielsky and Vasu Sojitra discuss the philosophy and mission behind their organization, and how their clinics are helping to shift the perceptions of the outdoor industry. Topics covered in this episode: • What inspires us to get outside. • The importance of inclusive terminology. • The power of affinity spaces. • Establishing an organization during COVID.
