empowering young women through science, art, and outdoor exploration

 
 

We led our first expedition in 1999 in the rugged North Cascades mountains of Washington state. Since then, we have grown into an international community with branches and expeditions in the United States, Canada, Switzerland, Austria, Central Asia, and New Zealand.

From sketching the patterns of a melting glacier to climbing a rock wall for the first time, we empower our participants to lead and succeed through science, art, and outdoor exploration.

 

Each summer, we lead tuition-FREE expeditions for high school girls* that interweave field science, art, and backcountry travel. Expedition teams are selected through an application process. Our application opens in mid-December each year.

* Inspiring Girls* Expeditions welcomes cisgender girls and transgender, agender, Two Spirit, nonbinary, intersex, and genderqueer youth.
