At the Ohio River Way, we are deeply proud of our commitment to bringing people together of all political persuasions around our mission of helping people find adventure, inspiring care for the land and water, and boosting the economies of Ohio River communities.

We believe that everyone — and every community — deserves access to the outdoors. Equitably increasing recreational opportunities on and along the Ohio River is a core tenet of our organization. We are committed to promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion in all aspects of our work, and strive to create an environment where everyone feels welcome and valued.

We recognize that the history of outdoor recreation in the United States has not been inclusive, and we are committed to being part of the solution. We are dedicated to listening to and learning from a diversity of perspectives, and to actively promoting the voices and experiences of underrepresented communities in our advocacy and programming.

We strive to ensure that our team reflects the diversity of the communities we represent and serve, and we are committed to fostering a culture of respect and openness among our members, volunteers, and staff. We believe that by working together, we can create a more equitable and inclusive future for all who wish to enjoy the Ohio River and its surrounding natural areas.
