The Outdoor Professional

Using the outdoors to make a difference for others

JobsThe Outdoor Professional

Outdoor learning professionals use the outdoors to make a difference for others.

They may work on a paid, part-time or voluntary basis and use a range of activities such as adventure sports, outdoor skills & challenges, field studies or environmental discovery.

Outdoor learning professionals help people reflect and learn about themselves, each other and connect with the environment. Together we can promote positive mental and physical health, bring communities together – and, increasingly, address the issues of sustainability and climate change.
