We are the

GEA Alliance

The Cairn Project and the AWE Summit Scholarship Foundation 501(c)(3) have merged to create the Alliance for Gender Equity in Outdoor Adventure (GEA Alliance). This is our mission:

We connect women, girls, and gender-diverse adventurers with transformative adventure opportunities, advancing gender equity on and off the mountain.

Although now united under the GEA Alliance, the programs previously run by both organizations will continue to operate unchanged. The Alliance is led by Executive Director Sunny Stroeer and governed by a joint board of directors from both founding organizations.

As we work on establishing our online presence, we welcome your inquiries. Feel free to reach out to us at info@cairnproject.org or info@summitscholarship.org. Stay tuned for more updates!
