GirlVentures’ programs integrate social-emotional skill-building and environmental education into outdoor expeditions, ensuring participants become empowered environmental stewards. Their programs follow a Leadership Progression Model that includes:

Spring and summer wilderness expeditions for girls in 6th-12th grades that integrate backpacking, climbing, and kayaking with social-emotional learning, leadership, and conservation.

School year climbing and mentorship programs for girls in middle school, who are paired with adult mentors to build skills and facilitate intergenerational learning

Affinity group courses for girls of color and LGBTQ+ youth that integrate rock climbing, kayaking, and camping with leadership, community-building, and conservation.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, GirlVentures is also offering virtual programs and online experiential learning opportunities that include adapted leadership and environmental stewardship curriculum and group and individual mentorship, and will continue to evolve their programming approach to meet the needs of their community.

As we adapt, their in-person and virtual leadership and environmental stewardship curriculum provides girls with the resilience and problem-solving skills they need to navigate the challenging terrain of daily life.
