I chose SheJumps because it is committed to the empowerment of all women through outdoor activity, and I think it is so important for young women to experience the thrill of sport, whether it’s on snow, in the air, or on the ground. The focus of SheJumps is to network amateur and professional female outdoor athletes with community service opportunities in order to increase female outdoor education in economically under-served communities.
When I was in 2nd grade, the local ski club came to my school and did a presentation on ski jumping, and I immediately signed up, which is how I got involved at such a young age. I believe that personally, sport has helped me tremendously in the growing up process. Today, I see fewer and fewer young women involved in sport, and SheJumps is trying to expand the involvement of all women in outdoor activities such as skiing, hiking, and climbing by holding clinics and encouraging healthy lifestyles. It is so disheartening to see so many young women never have the opportunity to engage in healthy, fun, confidence building activities, and SheJumps is dedicated to providing that opportunity for girls who would otherwise never have the chance to experience that.
