Get more involved with ODC: DEI, Service, & Sustainability interest meeting!

OVERVIEW

*we will meet on the SOUTH LAWN!!

Hello to all you lovely ODC members! Are you passionate about service, sustainability, or DEI (diversity, equity, & inclusivity) within the outdoors? Do you want to get more involved with the club? Well, we have news for you!

Much like a natural ecosystem, we believe that many parts of ODC are interwoven. We are merging our DEI / Service / Sustainability interest meetings to dive into these wondrously festering inter-spaces of collaboration. Service expands further beyond trail building, DEI beyond equitable representation, and Sustainability beyond CO2 monitoring. Instead, we envision a collective approach to initiatives like environmental activism, community organizing, club CO2 auditing, policy revisioning, trail work, guerilla gardening, food justice, housing equity, ODC constitutional restructuring, and so much more. And we want to hear from YOU and your ideas and concoct them into reality!!!

Come meet us on Monday the 19th at 6:30 pm on the South Lawn to hear more about how to get involved!

DEI is currently our only committee. It’s a small group that meets bi-weekly to discuss how we can make club operations, trips, and the outdoors more accessible and welcoming to all individuals. This is a great place to get closer to other club members & officers in a chill environment, while also creating positive changes within the club. Grace and Cam will also be at the meeting to give you the spiel on what they envision for their committees & how operations will likely run.

Please come if you have even an inkling of interest – we need you!! And if you can’t make it, no worries! Fill out this short interest form (just to get an understanding of what you’re interested in and your experience) & we’ll touch base individually with everyone within the next few weeks to make sure you’re involved in all the best ways <3
