Leadership Development Training

Cultivating Diverse Outdoor Leaders to Lead Diverse Communities.

Our adventure leaders support the majority of Wild Diversity's programing. They lead single day and multi day adventures on land and on water. Our Leadership Development Program focuses on developing outdoorists and community members into outdoor leaders, regardless of the level of previous leadership or outdoor experience, through a combination of workshops, field training, feedback and growth. Our Leadership Development Training program is for People of Color and/or people in the LGBTQ community.

Youth Ecology

Inspire. Educate. Excite.

Our Youth Ecology program will support young people in their discovery of nature, foster a personal connection to the outdoors and create a foundation for future stewards. We are activating youth's sense of wonder for natural spaces and its ecology. Youth will develop their own strategies to take care of this planet and identify ways to become better stewards.


Our Wild X Project

The Wild X Project is a full-time, free educational program for students of color K-2 to have hands-on outdoor learning opportunities to counter the challenges of virtual education. Students learn practical skills paired with regular school lessons to meet Common Core requirements. 


Our 2021 Summer Youth Ecology Intensive - More info coming soon.
