JOSE GONZALEZ

José González is a professional educator with training in the fields of education and conservation while engaging in different artistic endeavors with art and messaging-often exploring the intersection of the environment and culture. He is the founder and director emeritus of Latino Outdoors, a non-profit that connects and engages Latinx communities in the outdoors. He also serves as a partner to The Avarna Group, a BIPOC and women-led organization focused on the evolution of diversity, equity, inclusion and justice in the outdoor and environmental sectors.

José plays with design, words, science and education-engaging in the interdisciplinary intersections of how we view and engage with the world. Be it a piece of art, poem or scientific fact, José likes to weave ideas with people while appreciating the beauty of it all. José navigates through a self-created identity of a "Green Chicano" in a professional sense. In particular, he self describes himself as weaving through the roles of conservationist/environmentalist, Chicano and educator.
