Outdoor Educators Institute Program Coordinator – Seattle
As a Program Coordinator, Ethan (he/him) is excited to work with Justice Outside to bring the Outdoor Educators Institute to Seattle.
Born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, Ethan discovered his passion for the outdoors while attending Western Washington University. Day hiking in the Chuckanuts and a job at a summer camp helped form his relationship with the outdoors and he went on to major in Outdoor Recreation.
Ethan has spent the last several years as a youth backpacking guide, ski instructor, environmental educator, and managing gear libraries. What he loves about working in this field is making nature a relatable space and reframing that outdoor experiences can happen anywhere! Having experienced barriers to access and lack of representation in outdoor spaces, he is dedicated to making the outdoors an equitable and safe space.
In his free time, Ethan is an avid skier, climber, ramen enjoyer, and a pickleball enthusiast. He also enjoys playing card and board games, watching movies, and playing with his cat.
