Empowering Girls to be Leaders of Tomorrow

​

The Mother Earth Ambassador Program is an 8-day experiential outdoor leadership education program designed for girls aged 9 to 12. It has been developed to empower girls with the understanding of the inherent power and beauty of the forest, and with the many mental, physical, and spiritual benefits of being in nature. In this program your child will:

​

• connect with other girls to learn about the beauty and power of nature

• cultivate powerful personal connections to their inner self, one another and nature

• develop confidence and courage to make wise choices at a pivotal time in life

• be enabled to actualize their feminine leadership capacity

• learn teachings of indigenous wisdom and environmental science using art, storytelling, games and

  initiatives

• create a personalized action plan to create positive change for the earth in their home, school and

  community

 

The program will be facilitated by Sarah Wade, a BC certified Elementary and Middle School Teacher with over 20 years of experience guiding multi-day wilderness expeditions and teaching programs in outdoor education centres. She has taught math and environmental science in public and private schools throughout Canada, including living and working with indigenous elders and youth in Nunavut.
