This year Sierra Designs

Sierra Designs is giving back 1% of its profits with the goal of making the

outdoors more attainable for more people. The initiative is

called Reach Out and they're partnering with four

outdoor organizations that uniquely foster long-term relationships with the

outdoors. One of these organizations is She Jump's.

She Jump's increases the participation of women and girls in outdoor activities to

foster confidence, leadership, and connection to nature and community.

We do this through free and low-cost

outdoor education and everything we do is mission-based and designed to create

chances for people to jump in, try something new, jump up, get better at something or jump out and give back. This is Claire Smallwood, the

executive director and co-founder of She Jumps. Claire shared that this year

She Jumps is excited by the challenge of examining their programming through the

lens of diversity, equity, and inclusion. If we're doing an event, how easy is it

for someone that's never ever participated to come to that event? and then as well are we looking at all

of the accessibility pieces and when it comes to the skill level required the equipment

required what's the cultural competence level of that event?

And then as well, looking to create more affinity spaces,

so working with other groups to provide our programming

so that diverse groups, school programs foster programs etc that

wouldn't normally have the resources to create outdoor education

opportunities they can take what we worked on for our curriculum and our programs
