Wild Hearts Idaho empowers young women by providing outdoor adventures that build confidence, leadership, and inspire a love for the natural world.
Connecting people outside
REI Cooperative Action Fund support helps Wild Hearts Idaho expand opportunities for young people and communities to build meaningful connections with nature through outdoor education, stewardship, and place-based experiences. Funding advances programs that make the outdoors more welcoming and accessible, helping participants develop confidence, curiosity, and a lifelong relationship with the natural world.
Through this partnership, Wild Hearts Idaho is growing opportunities for youth to learn, explore, and lead in the outdoors—connecting more people to nearby nature while fostering a sense of belonging, environmental stewardship, and community.

It’s hard to get into outdoor adventure and experience the benefits if you don’t have the parents, family, or friend groups that are already going. Women are still underrepresented in the outdoors compared to men.
