Passages Northwest (PNW) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to educating and motivating girls and women to develop leadership and courage through the integrated exploration of the arts and the natural environment. We help girls and women from diverse cultural and economic backgrounds build physical, expressive, and inquisitive courage. To this end, we lead day, overnight, and week long trips that include rock climbing, backpacking and sea kayaking as well as creative/expressive and environmental education activities.
