Why I’m Fundraising for GirlVentures 

If you know me, you know that outdoor adventure has been a transformative force in my life. The confidence, resilience, and leadership skills I’ve gained from exploring nature have shaped who I am today. That’s why I’m so passionate about GirlVentures and why I recently joined their board. 

GirlVentures is an organization that inspires girls and gender-expansive youth to lead through outdoor adventure, inner discovery, and collective action. Their programs offer more than just a chance to experience the outdoors—they provide critical life skills at a pivotal time in these young people’s lives. I believe deeply in this mission because I’ve seen firsthand how powerful and life-changing outdoor experiences can be.


GirlVentures inspires girls to lead through outdoor adventure, inner discovery, and collective action.

The only nonprofit of its kind, GirlVentures combines outdoor adventure with social emotional learning for adolescent girls, at a critical time in their lives.  Starting at age 11, our youth follow the GirlVentures’ Leadership Progression Model, building confidence, leadership and life skills as they backpack, hike, kayak and rock climb in the Northern California wilderness. They learn from experiential educators and mentors while gaining knowledge and tools that empower them to reach their full potential.
 
GirlVentures 2024 Gala will celebrate the empowerment of expansive youth in our community!  We have a very mission appropriate silent auction (think campouts, kayaking, sailing, picnics, and even a YETI), fantastic music, delicious cuisine, and a few surprises, as we celebrate the trailblazers that get us to our place of leadership in our communities!
