Empowering Tomorrow’s Leaders – Shooting Star Adventures Receives Grant to Launch Scholarship Program

We are thrilled to share some exciting news with our Shooting Star Adventures community! Recently, we were selected as a recipient of the iHeartMedia Woman Owned Business campaign grant, sponsored by Point West Credit Union. This grant is a testament to the incredible work of women-owned businesses like ours and the impact we make in our communities.

Give a listen to the announcement:

At Shooting Star Adventures, we envision a resilient generation characterized by bold explorers, confident leaders, and devoted naturalists that build deep connections within their communities and to the larger natural world.

Being recognized and supported by Point West Credit Union reaffirms the importance of our mission and allows us to bring our vision into focus. Our board has voted to allocate 100% into developing our dream of a college and career scholarship program for our counselors. They’re not just counselors; they’re the real MVPs, and we’re pumped to show them some love. This scholarship will allow them to chase their passions in outdoor education and typically male-dominated industries. With this boost, we’re setting them up to blaze trails and rock the boat in the best possible way. 🚀🌟

We feel incredibly blessed that we have been granted the change to “pay it forward.” As Tim McGraw sings in “Humble and Kind,” when you get where you’re going, don’t forget to turn back around and help the next one in line. That’s exactly what we aim to do.

We extend our sincerest gratitude to Point West Credit Union and K103 for their generosity and recognition of the vital role that women-owned businesses play in driving economic growth and inclusivity. Their support empowers us to reach new heights and pursue our goals with even greater enthusiasm.

As we move forward, we remain committed to our mission and vision, striving to create unforgettable experiences and make a positive difference in the lives of those we serve. We are excited about the opportunities that lie ahead and look forward to continuing our journey with the support of our amazing community and partners.

Thank you for your continued support and belief in Shooting Star Adventures!
