SheJumps Snowpack Scholarship

​

Building a community of belonging.

Supporting diversity, equity, and inclusion is an integral part of the SheJumps mission to increase the participation of all women and girls in outdoor activities. SheJumps acknowledges the historic exclusion of women, and specifically Black, Indigenous, Women of Color, to outdoor spaces. Our Snowpack Scholarship addresses these systems of inequity by generating opportunities for education, community-building, connection, and leadership development through skiing and backcountry avalanche certifications.

​

From progressing (or kick-starting!) ski and snowboard skills to avalanche education, the SheJumps Snowpack Scholarship Program provides an educational bridge for women in winter activities. At SheJumps, we believe jumping is a metaphor for trying new things and scholarship applicants are encouraged to do just that. We encourage self-identified Black, Indigenous, Women of Color and individuals with financial need to apply.
