COMMUNITY MEET UP’S

Community is important to us. Connecting women in a safe and supportive environment where all women feel valued and welcomed is at the core of what we do.

Meet Up’s give women the chance to get involved with Women Want Adventure for the first time. Walks are easy and no payment is required. Meet Ups break down intimidation barriers so women can take the first step to try something new, make a friend and feel a sense of belonging to community.

AGES
