Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Human Service Organizations, Human Services
Mission: We are a volunteer-run nonprofit media and adventure collective that engages, educates, and empowers females worldwide. Through the lens of human-powered adventure, we work to inspire confidence and leadership in women of all ages, believing that confident women have the power to build healthy communities and change the world. Our individual-focused programs assist aspiring outdoor industry professionals through a variety of internships, organizational leadership roles, professional mentorship, and resume-building experiences. Our community-focused programs are served to local regions through our Grassroots "Teams" and "Regional Areas", and globally through collaborations with professional athletes, like-minded organizations, brands, and our online channels. These programs serve to build leadership and confidence in individuals, promote active outdoor lifestyles, and increase recognition for the athletic abilities of women in adventure sports.
Programs: Outdoor Women's Alliance's Grassroots Program serves to strengthen leadership and confidence qualities in women using outdoor-based programming. Through organized events, activities, and volunteer opportunities, we provide volunteers and members an opportunity to create community, participate in learning opportunities, and build a supportive place for women to connect with each other and accomplish goals. The nonprofit organized 120 separate events during the 2016-17 fiscal year in seven geographic regions. The Editorial Mentorship Program of Outdoor Women's Alliance helps fulfill the building skills portion of our mission. Our editors work with women who are looking to build a career in adventure journalism covering non-fiction adventure writing, photography, videography, film, and/or podcasting. Working from pitch to publication, women will learn and follow the editorial process in a supportive environment. The culmination of the mentorship is a published work(s) on Outdoor Women's Alliance that can be shared in resumes and in pitches to content managers and editors at brands, magazines, etc. The nonprofit mentored 37 women in adventure journalism during the 2016-17 fiscal year.
