Accomplishing Our Mission
​
SheJumps empowers women and girls to enjoy the outdoors through hosted events, educational clinics, and fundraising climbs. Our participants join for a wide variety of outdoor activities where they learn skills ranging from wilderness survival to mountaineering to outdoor medicine and more. These events are educational and help women and girls become self-sufficient in the outdoors.

Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion
In 2023, SheJumps offered our third annual Wilderness First Aid Scholarship for Women of Color. We offered two courses–one in Seattle, WA and one in Salt Lake City, UT–to 29 scholarship recipients identifying as Women of Color.
For the fifth year in a row, we also continued to offer the SheJumps Snowpack Scholarship,
which provides opportunities for adult women to gain experience and education in snowsports and avalanche safety. In 2024, we awarded 30 Ikon Pass scholarships (100% awarded to Women of Color) and 48 Avalanche Education scholarships (54% awarded to Women of Color).
Our Volunteer Squad
The work of our volunteers makes the many SheJumps events possible. Behind every volunteer-led SheJumps event you see, there are hundreds of hours of training, planning, and preparing to lead a safe and successful event.
While our staff does help create and facilitate events, our events primarily reach communities thanks to our volunteers! Of the 223 events in the last year, 174 of those events were led directly by volunteers (79%). Those 174 events served 3,600 participants. Without volunteers, SheJumps wouldn't be able to come alive and get more women and girls outside.
Our volunteer squad is made up of:
-
10 National Volunteers
-
6 Regional Directors
-
18 Regional Coordinators
-
78 Event Coordinators
