We exist to give our next generation the tools, resources, and connections to move confidently through the world.
Inspire teenagers who self-identify as girls, non-binary, or genderqueer to love themselves and each other.
We use time in the wild together to inspire change; to help teenagers rise up and face their fears and demons. To launch anvils off of their chests and into the ether. To be free birds who see clearly that they are enough and always have been, that they are nothing short of amazing actually, and there’s no disputing that fact.
Eradicate self-loathing for good
Zero youth feeling crappy about themselves. Zero young people grimacing when they look in the mirror. The self-loathing dragon will be slayed. Girl In The Wild is the sword to do it.
Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Justice. These are more than just words for us. They’re the lifeforce behind the work we do. They’re guiding principles for how we build our team, create courageous spaces for young people, and leave our hearts open for the lessons we will learn along the way.
We openly admit: This will not be a simple, linear journey for us. We will undoubtedly make mistakes along the way. But we trust in our fierce will to grow, learn, and rise together. We owe nothing less than that to our next generation.
These human beings have heaps of passion and piles of experience. They’re all badass in their own right, incredibly kind, and totally weird and wacky, too. You’ll love them. We sure do.
