What is Project: WE?
Project: WE, also known as The Wilderness Empowerment Project, is an international community enabling women to experience and appreciate nature. Our goal is to break down social, monetary and physical boundaries so that a diverse range of women can experience all that the outdoors has to offer. We hope those that are part of our community will learn valuable wilderness skills, create meaningful connections, and be empowered to continue exploring.
​
Why?
We understand that in today's world, it is easy to forget the beauty and power of the natural world which surrounds us. We know that spending time outdoors can improve one's awareness of the present moment, decrease stress, and lead to self-confidence and genuine human connection. Now we hope to take what we have learned and share it with others.
How?
In order to facilitate and support a diverse outdoor community, we offer a database of mentors to help women get in touch with each other and share their experiences and expertise. We also offer grants to those seeking an educational outdoor experience and share articles by adventure writers to inspire our readers. In the upcoming future, we will be offering our own all-female outdoor expedition program to connect women from different backgrounds and teach outdoor skills.
Where is our money coming from?
We believe in the use of "good money," collected from fundraisers that our community puts on to bring people together and raise money for a good cause. Our funding, currently, comes from the sale of our merchandise, grants. donations at our events and online donations from members like you.
