Our DEI Commitment

Our Common Ground – the Outdoors – Belongs to Everyone

POW recognizes that diversity, equity, and inclusion are critical to our work, and we are taking actions that empower everyone to speak out on climate. We’ve started that work by supporting projects, taking on staff DEI training and committing to continued action through our DEI plan. Ultimately, we are here to listen and learn as we take on the journey of empowering everyone who loves the outdoors.

 

POW is commited…

 

  • To our common ground. The outdoors belongs to everyone. It reveals our unique histories, tells our stories, celebrates the diversity of our country and honors the full spectrum of ways we find connection, meaning and passion in the outdoors. 
  • To advancing representation and inclusion of historically marginalized and stigmatized communities in the outdoors. While the history of the outdoor movement gave voice and value to a limited few, our future is built on ensuring all voices for the outdoors are heard.
  • To using our influence, privilege, platform and resources to advance diversity, equity and inclusion in the outdoor industry and within our organization. We value and promote equity and inclusion of diverse perspectives and are taking intentional steps to advance DEI values in our board, staff, alliance members and partners.
