Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Scholarship

The Executive Board established the J.E.D.I Scholarship in 2020 to be awarded annually to one person to attend the annual TOEA workshop that year, including membership for one year. 

J.E.D.I is the acronym for Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion. There is an increasing awareness around the J.E.D.I. movement to create more inter-sectional opportunities and initiatives in work space cultures with program experiences to include populations that have been underrepresented or historically marginalized. Outdoor education is no exception, and there are startling statistics that illustrate the lack of diversity, equity, and inclusion in our field. We recognize the need for change and are excited to offer this scholarship opportunity.
