About the Program
Why We Created This Program
Girlhood in the Woods began with a simple belief:
Women deserve spaces where they can connect, explore, and build genuine friendships without pressure, competition, or the feeling that they have to be someone they're not.
as our community continues to grow, we want to create opportunities for connection in more places while preserving the warmth and authenticity that makes this community special.
The Ambassador Program exists to support intentional growth - not rapid growth.
Our ambassadors help create local experiences that feel welcoming, accessible, and deeply rooted in community.
Our Mission
To create accessible, welcoming outdoor experiences that allow women to explore new places, reconnect with nature, and build meaningful community - without pressure, performance, or unnecessary barriers.
