fern Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 I just want to raise attention to a local program that might be of interest to some cc.com-ers. Girls On Ice This is the 10th year that this program has happened. It is a 10 day summer course for high-school aged girls, aimed at introducing them to a variety of environmental science and mountain experiences that they might never otherwise be exposed to. The program is offered at no cost to the candidates, and is funded mostly by public donations. A unique aspect this year is the collaboration with a school in South Africa which will bring one girl from there up to Seattle. Donations are tax deductible. If the fact that it is a "girl's only" thing bugs you, then I encourage you to direct your donation to any other youth program that better suits you, for example the Boy Scouts.
