Story

Hi there!

Recently, I started a new job with the YMCA serving youth across Seattle to support youth development through environmental service projects (restoration, gardening, trash clean-ups, etc.). I, myself, have experienced the transformative power of being outside and building meaningful relationships with the environment, and my goal is to be able to give that same opportunity to the youth I work with.

This June, I will summit Mt. Rainier to raise funds for youth who want to explore nature and build leadership skills with Bold & Gold*. Your donation will make this climb possible and serve as scholarship money for Seattle's youth wanting to immerse themselves in the wonder that lies in the mountains, trees, and waters of this beautiful earth.

Thank you so much for your support (moral or monetary) ❤
