GirlVentures inspires girls and gender expansive youth to lead through outdoor adventure, inner discovery, and collective action. We envision a world where girls, women, and gender expansive individuals lead inclusive and resilient communities, and where nature is accessible to everyone and conserved for future generations. GirlVentures offers transformative social change by providing girls and gender expansive youth from diverse communities the opportunities for personal growth that enable them to become effective leaders, environmental stewards, and advocates for themselves and others. By uniquely combining challenges like backpacking, kayaking, and rock climbing with our highly effective social-emotional learning curriculum, our programs make a difference that lasts a lifetime.
