Empowering through nature & community

Girl Unleashed is a new initiative launching spring 2025 to empower girls of multicultural backgrounds to embrace the beauty of nature through camping, hiking, and other outdoor recreational experiences.

By offering unprecedented access to the great outdoors, often for the first time, girls learn to develop a community that helps them foster resilience and the essential tools to navigate live’s challenges.
