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 2022, SheJumps offered our second 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 includes an avalanche education scholarship and an Ikon Pass scholarship. We offered scholarships to 84 participants, with at least 50% going to Women of Color, to attend an AIARE Level 1 or Level 2 certification course. And we awarded 12 Ikon Pass scholarships going 100% to Women of Color. The scholarship included a full Ikon season pass, 1 day equipment rental, and a ski/snowboard lesson.
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 200 events hosted by SheJumps this year, only 20 events were hosted by full-time staff. That means that 90% of our events come to fruition thanks to the hard work of our volunteers.
Our volunteer squad is made up of:
-
9 National Volunteers
-
7 Regional Directors
-
18 Regional Coordinators
-
60 Event Coordinators

Women Change the World
We want to ensure a future where all women and girls – regardless of background, race, ethnicity or identity – can enjoy the confidence and skills to thrive in our outdoor playground.
Financials

SheJumps' digital presence provides inspirational stories, content, and networking relating to the outdoors and our community. We value "unsung heroines" and the opportunity to increase the visibility of these women in outdoor media and beyond.
