Equity & Inclusion

January 15, 2023

We are committed to cultivating a diverse, inclusive, and accessible community.

At Roam Your Soul, we are deeply committed to cultivating a diverse, inclusive, and accessible community. We believe that everyone, regardless of their background or identity, deserves to experience the transformative power of outdoor adventure and personal growth.

Our Commitment to Inclusion:

We actively celebrate and promote diversity in all our programs and events. To ensure our community reflects the rich diversity of the world, we are dedicating 20% of our event spots to BIPOC women, LGBTQ+ individuals who identify as female, femme, or non-binary. To support this commitment, use code INCLUSION at checkout to receive 20% off your registration or purchase. You belong HERE, and we want you HERE.

Creating Safe and Welcoming Spaces:

We strive to provide a safe, welcoming, and affirming environment for everyone who roams with us. This includes:

  • Safe Spaces: Ensuring all our events and programs are free from discrimination, harassment, and any form of marginalization. Our goal is to create a space where everyone feels respected and valued.
  • Accessibility: We are committed to making our programs and services accessible to all. This includes offering accommodations for individuals with disabilities and continually assessing our practices to remove barriers to participation.
  • Cultural Competence: Providing ongoing training for our staff and volunteers on cultural competence, anti-racism, and inclusive practices to ensure we are meeting the needs of our diverse community.

Empowering Marginalized Voices:

We recognize the importance of amplifying the voices and experiences of historically marginalized communities. By offering tailored outdoor adventure experiences and transformational learning opportunities, we aim to empower individuals to reclaim their stories and thrive in a supportive environment.

Continuous Improvement:

Our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion is an ongoing journey. We are dedicated to continuously learning, growing, and improving our practices. We welcome feedback from our community and are always looking for ways to better serve and support you.
