Hudson River Human Diversity Network Working Mission: To create a regionally cohesive network of organizations in order to maximize individual and collective impact improving human diversity in nature, nature-based academic and research programs, and into careers relating to nature, natural resources and their conservation. Working Goals: Organization level: Create an informal network of groups working on the spectrum of diversity issues, which will increase communication, collaboration and coordination amongst the network and create a geographic and temporal pipeline of opportunities for audiences served by network partners. Participant level: Create integrated opportunities for individuals from traditionally underserved communities in both rural and urban settings, providing "the next step" as participant’s transition out of age-, experience- or geographically-based programs.
