WIN Together
Women In Nature: Growing Stronger Together

WIN Together is a charitable outdoor wellness program of The Luck Group, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to expanding access to nature, outdoor recreation, wellness, and personal development opportunities for underserved and historically underrepresented communities.​​
​​​Our Mission
The mission of WIN Together is to provide women and girls with equitable access to outdoor recreation, nature-based wellness, mentorship, and supportive community experiences that promote healing, confidence, resilience, and belonging.
​
We believe every woman and girl deserves the opportunity to experience the physical, emotional, and social benefits of spending time outdoors.
​
Why WIN Together Was Created
Many women and girls face barriers that limit their participation in outdoor activities. These barriers may include:
-
Financial hardship
-
Limited access to equipment
-
Transportation challenges
-
Lack of outdoor experience
-
Safety concerns
-
Limited representation in outdoor spaces
-
Trauma, grief, isolation, or major life transitions

WIN Together works to remove these barriers by providing structured, beginner-friendly experiences led by trained instructors, outdoor educators, wellness facilitators, mentors, and community partners.
​
No previous outdoor experience is required.

Our Core Values
Wellness
We create opportunities for women and girls to slow down, recharge, move their bodies, reduce stress, and reconnect with themselves.
Inclusion
We welcome women and girls of varying backgrounds, identities, abilities, experience levels, and financial circumstances.
Empowerment
Participants are encouraged to try new activities, take healthy risks, build skills, and recognize their personal strengths.
Resilience
Outdoor experiences provide opportunities to practice patience, perseverance, adaptability, and problem-solving.
Connection
WIN Together strengthens relationships between participants, families, mentors, community partners, and the natural environment.
Safety
Programs are designed with physical safety, emotional safety, clear expectations, trained instruction, and supportive facilitation at the forefront.
​
