Vermont’s outdoor industry is powered by people with different backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. In partnership with the Vermont Professionals of Color Network, Vermont Outdoor Business Alliance is highlighting the stories of People of Color working across Vermont’s outdoor economy. These video spotlights offer a closer look at the people behind the work, the career paths that brought them here, and the perspectives they bring to Vermont’s outdoor community.
From recreation and conservation to business, hospitality, and beyond, these stories showcase the many ways people are building meaningful careers in Vermont’s outdoors.
