79% of National Park Service employees are white, and 62% of all employees are male. Lack of racially diverse representation is common across the U.S. conservation workforce. Join our discussion today about resume-building so we can #DiversifyOutdoors.

Building an outdoors that welcomes people of diverse backgrounds, identities, and abilities will lead to a strong and sustainable constituency of advocates for conservation, environmental education, and outdoor recreation.
In order to #DiversifyOutdoors, we recognize that we must diversify the outdoor workforce. Join us for an interactive virtual resume-building workshop run by @MANOProject.
