Serving the Women who've Served our Country in the Military
|
The Women's Wilderness Institute is honored, and excited, to be working with female veterans, and women spouses/domestic partners of veterans, to offer retreats in 2011 and 2012. We are proud to be offering these courses in a way that is aligned with our mission and that addresses the specific needs and issues of our women veterans and women spouses/domestic partners of veterans.
Between 2011 and 2012, TWWI is offering six 6-day retreats for women who need support in re-integrating to civilian life after their military service. These retreats are funded by the Women Veterans Health Improvement Act of 2009, and are provided entirely free of charge to participants, including airfare.
We're also honored to be partnering with the Sierra Club in 2012 to offer a series of desert backpacking trips designed to connect our veterans and their families with wild places. During April 16-21, and April 30- May 5, 2012, The Women's Wilderness Institute is offering 4-day backpacking trips (with a travel day on either end) in the Utah desert specifically for women veterans. Also being offered, April 23-28, is a trip open to all women spouses/domestic partners of veterans.
We're proud to offer our women veterans and women spouses/domestic partners of veterans opportunities to explore, discover and relax in the wild places that their service has helped to protect.
For more information, including application materials, on the above retreats and expeditions, please call 303.938.9191 or send us an email!

Did you get some cool new gear for the holidays and are trying to figure what to do with your old stuff? If you're looking for a new home for your old (but still functional) camera, dish washer or other items, we'd gladly give it a new home! For more ideas on things that would make a great addition to our office and space, please check out our wish list!
As a nonprofit organization we focus our financial efforts on providing scholarships for girls who otherwise could not afford our courses. We're frugal about office expenses, which means that donated items are crucial in helping us run a solid, sustainable organization.
All donations are tax-deductible and are welcomed with open arms, appreciative hearts and huge grins.
