Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Statement​
​
Alaska Trails is a diverse, inclusive, and equitable organization where all employees and volunteers, whatever their gender, race, ethnicity, national origin, age, sexual orientation or identity, education or ability, feel valued and respected. We are committed to a nondiscriminatory approach and provide equal opportunity for employment and volunteerism in
all of our programs and worksites. We respect and value diverse life experiences and heritages and ensure that all voices are valued and heard.
We want to welcome everyone into the trail work community because everyone should enjoy the
benefits of time on trail and because a diverse, engaged and growing community is vital for the
future of the trails we love. Our community will be the strongest champion for trails if it builds
connections across identities and honors open dialogue about how we can all do better.
