INSPIRING A COMMUNITY OF WOMEN-LED ADVENTURE
When we first started #SheAdventures, it was a call to shine a worldwide spotlight on women’s equality in the outdoor apparel industry. Quite a lot has changed since then, and now there’s even more to talk about. #SheAdventures has been and will always be about empowering underrepresented genders, regardless of your identity. More importantly, #SheAdventures belongs to you – you are the ones who are dreaming big, overcoming challenges, living an adventurous life, and inspiring us to do the same.
Our #SheAdventures scholarship program helps to give cis and trans women the education, technical skills, and confidence to achieve big things. Could you be our next scholar?
