It REALLY DOES take a village...
Since 2011, support from local businesses, service clubs, and like-minded donors have helped girls discover they ARE enough just like they are, they DO bring gifts to the world no one else does, their circumstances DON'T control their future, and they ARE growing into someone even more amazing. Your gift, large or small is critically important in helping girls believe and live our motto, Every Girl Matters!
Small one-time donations, long-term large-scale supporters, special fundraisers and business partnerships provide the revenue needed to offer our programs on a donation basis. While we do have a suggested donation for each activity, families pay what they can (often $0) and no one ever turned away for financial reasons. A traditional guided backpacking trip to the Red River Gorge in Kentucky can easily cost $500+. Our suggested donation for that 7-day trip is $125. Generous support from like-minded donors keep costs low and insure our programs are open to any eligible girl, regardless of their financial situation.
But there is much more to do!
And to do it we need you!
Our expansion into producing a documentary on teens & social media AND the upcoming launch on the MAD Club after-school programming means year round programming is here and your support is more needed and appreciated than ever!!
Your donation matters! Your donation makes a difference!
I don't have room to note all the wonderful things Right Tree is doing for Elk Rapid's daughters! I could see the confidence and empowerment in our daughter from her very first experience.

I wish the whole world was like Right Tree -- where there's always someone there for you

She's more confident. She has a stronger desire to help other people. She is willing to take risks. We could not ask for a better program & are excited to share the positive growth this organization provides for our girl.
