This year's local non-profit beneficiary is ElevateHER!
Founded in 2017, elevateHER is a Chaffee County, CO based non-profit providing young women the opportunity to cultivate resilience, fortitude, and tenaciousness while developing physical and mental strength through a unique blend of outdoor adventure, mentoring and wellness. elevateHER's year-round programs for young women provide the necessary transportation, nutrition, equipment, instruction, and mentorship for all the outdoor adventures we take. We believe that every girl deserves the opportunity to feel a sense of connectedness to our community while developing skills to become a successful, resilient, adult and enter the workforce with the skills, experience and confidence to be a leader amongst her peers. elevateHER seamlessly weaves critical out-of-school education such as healthy relationships, women's health, mental wellness and resiliency into our outdoor adventure curriculum. Girls practice various mental health awareness techniques such as yoga, meditation, journaling, and mindfulness.
