Understanding the Impact of Outdoor Science and Environmental Learning Experiences Through Community-Driven Outcomes

Understanding the Impact of Outdoor Science and Environmental Learning Experiences Through Community-Driven Outcomes seeks to design new research and evaluation tools for outdoor science and environmental learning organizations to understand impact related to environmental and scientific literacy. The goal is for these tools to center the voices and priorities of communities who have been marginalized from the field, particularly communities of color, so we can move away from “traditional” White-led conceptions of nature and the outdoors toward more inclusive and culturally responsive metrics. Over the next four years, we’ll have opportunities to involve additional organizations across the country in this work.
