About Us
Hey, you! We're GGW
GGW Womxn's Outdoor Collective was originally founded at UC San Diego in 2022 and was brought to UW in Spring of 2024. I founded GGW here at UW because I believe that having a close-knit female community and spending time outdoors is essential for personal growth and staying grounded. Attending an all-girls middle school really opened my eyes to the importance of nurturing female friendships and communities and I strive to continue that legacy through GGW.
I envision this club as a joyful and supportive space where women can uplift one another, encourage each other's growth, and embrace their adventurous spirits. I also hope to use this space to support female students' mental health through mindfulness activities, nature therapy, creative expression, physical activity, community service, social justice/advocacy and discussion groups.
We're not just nature lovers here - we are also involved in volunteering, hosting teach-ins, and collaborating with other organizations to create a positive impact in the Seattle community. Feel free to reach out if you'd like to collab with us on any events, and if you're thinking about becoming a member - come join! I promise we're cool :)
