About this episode
Ron Griswell is an outdoor educator and founder of HBCU's Outside, a nonprofit dedicated to connecting students at historically Black colleges and universities with nature. After taking a gap year from North Carolina A&T State University to work as an adventure guide, Ron discovered a deeper purpose in the outdoors. Motivated by the lack of outdoor opportunities at his HBCU, he launched a movement to make nature more accessible and inclusive. His work continues to inspire the next generation of outdoor leaders.Connect with Ron: InstagramHBCU's website & InstagramBoyz N The Wood InstagramTake the 5-minute Listener Survey!Thank you to our sponsors: Capital One and the REI Co-op® Mastercard®   Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
