In this episode we meet Robyn Gelfand, the National Program Director at She Jumps, an organization that empowers women and girls to enjoy the outdoors through hosted events, educational clinics, and fundraising climbs. She Jumps participants join for a wide variety of outdoor activities where they learn skills ranging from wilderness survival to mountaineering to outdoor medicine and more.
