About Us
Our Mission In Action
Every adventure you take with Hope Wanders is more than just a trip; it’s an act of empowerment that extends beyond your own journey. A portion of every trip and all donations directly fund our scholarship program, enabling women who have faced profound challenges to experience the same transformative power of the outdoors. By joining us, you become a vital part of their journey towards healing, resilience, and self-discovery.
Our Mission
Welcome to Hope Wanders, a non-profit organization founded by Jessica Urton. At Hope Wanders, our mission is to ensure ALL women have access to outdoor adventures and we create a supportive community for women from difficult life situations, fostering their connection with the healing power of the outdoors. We believe in the transformative potential of nature to inspire resilience, self-discovery, and a renewed sense of purpose.
Our Story
Hope Wanders was born out of a deep commitment to helping survivors of extreme difficult life situations reclaim their lives and discover the strength within themselves. Jessica Urton, our founder, envisioned a sanctuary where women could find solace, courage, and community in the great outdoors. Having experienced the healing power of nature firsthand, Jessica understands the profound impact it can have on one’s journey towards recovery.
Find Your Edge. Find Your Community. Find Yourself
Building Our Community, Together
At Hope Wanders, we believe that empowerment in the outdoors is a journey we take together. Our adventures are more than just trips; they are opportunities to co-create a healthy, educational, and supportive community for all of us. For many, a truly nurturing environment might be hard to find at home or in daily life. That’s why we’re dedicated to fostering a space where everyone can learn, grow, and connect meaningfully through shared experiences in nature. When you join Hope Wanders, you’re not just finding your own path; you’re actively contributing to a welcoming and uplifting space for all.
