Equity is central to all of NRPA's work as we strive for a future where all people have access to the benefits of quality parks and recreation. NRPA supports park and recreation professionals by providing opportunities for them to practice putting equity into action, as well as learn from and with each other, to advance equitable outcomes.

These flexible learning opportunities are designed to fit your busy schedule, be more responsive to your professional development budget, and align with your professional development goals. Skill Builders are organized into three types of focused learning experiences that will enable you to build and strengthen specific skills based on your desired time commitment:

• Stepping Stones – highly focused content that can be completed in 15-minutes or less and are immediately applicable. These are a great option for park professionals with limited time or are on the go.
• Mile Markers – designed to be completed within one to one and half hours, these opportunities are a great option for professionals seeking more digestible, single skill focused learning.
• Skill Summits – designed around a focused skill set, these are for professionals who require a shorter time commitment than our certificate offerings but want a deeper dive than our Mile Markers offer.

Note: this is a members-only offering.
