DEIJ Resources

In the spirit of creating a community for sharing this journey and collective growth on diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice (DEIJ), the DEIJ subcommittee has dedicated this page to providing individuals and organizations with a list of resources suggested by the Safe Space Commitment coalition. The list below is not an endorsement of resources and instead is intended to serve as an informational guide for organizations and community leaders as allies of black, indigenous, and people of color in the outdoors to learn and growth together.

The searchable, sortable list includes articles, videos, books, podcasts, and other suggested materials that may help you and your organization on your journey.
