The Outdoor Educators Institute (OEI) is a three-month long professional development program for young adults with an active interest in outdoor leadership. OEI graduates receive training in wilderness backpacking, sea kayaking, rock climbing, outdoor facilitation, group management, and conservation skills, and are supported to get placed in outdoor employment at the end of the program.
We are proud to introduce the members of the Spring 2024 Outdoor Educators Institute cohorts.
