Join the ODS Community Network

The Outdoor School Community Network consists of community members who are champions of Outdoor School and supports regionally-focused initiatives in support of high-quality Outdoor School experiences that meet community needs. One of those needs is advocating for access to equitable and inclusive Outdoor School experiences for all Oregon students. Email us to be added to our email list and our database of advocates. The Friends of Outdoor School team can also connect you with other folks in the Outdoor School Community Network in your area. Fill out the form below to get on our email list. 

We will hold statewide gatherings and regional gatherings as needed. These meetings will be virtual for the time being but we hope to hold them in person when we are able to do so safely. See our upcoming events page for more information on upcoming Outdoor School Community Network gatherings.

As part of the Outdoor School Community network, we invite you to share your unique Outdoor School story. Your story will be shared with decision-makers when needed to illustrate the impact of Outdoor School for Oregon students. Your story may take many different forms, it can be written, filmed, expressed through a piece of art, or whatever medium feels right to you. Do you have a student who attended Outdoor School or missed it due to the pandemic? We want to hear their story too. You can submit your story here or email it to us.
