Our recent trip to Nepal, which concluded in December, showcased the power of collaboration. Together with The Small World, a local nonprofit, and a group of 10 dedicated trekkers (8 of whom were women), we raised $7,200 to make a lasting impact in Tingla, Solukhumbu.

This year, our Annual Board Retreat brought our incredible Board Members, friends, and family together in Los Angeles for a weekend filled with meaningful discussions, planning, and a night to remember—the Momo Party with Purpose Fundraiser!

We’re thrilled to bring back our Party with Purpose Fundraiser, and this time, we’re taking a culinary journey to Nepal! Join us for an evening of hands-on fun as we learn to make momos—delicious, traditional Nepalese dumplings.

As we gear up for our November 2022 Nepal trip, we’re excited to invite you to join our next training hike through the Trek Relief Adventurers Facebook group. Let’s get ready for high-altitude trekking together!

We’re thrilled to announce some wonderful updates to our leadership team. Trek Relief alum Wendy Meek, who joined us on a transformative Nepal program, is stepping into the role of Board Secretary, while Steven Wong transitions to lead our Board Outreach efforts.

We’re excited to share that our founder and executive director, Candice Young, was recently featured on the Powerful Ladies Podcast! In this inspiring episode, Candice dives into her journey of creating Trek Relief, blending her love for adventure travel with a passion for giving back.

We’re excited to announce a new opportunity for our Trek Relief alumni: the chance to apply for a $1,500 grant to create your very own program.

We’re excited to introduce our latest program in Nepal, focused on climate resiliency and empowering communities. Partnering with The Small World Nepal, we aim to support over 500 families—impacting more than 3,000 individuals—through sustainable agriculture and leadership development.

At Trek Relief, we’re always looking for ways to make it easier for you to #travelwithpurpose. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce a new opportunity to contribute to our mission while earning credit toward your next adventure with us!

After a long wait due to Chile’s strict travel policies during the pandemic, we’re thrilled to announce the successful completion of our second trip to Patagonia! This trip marked a major milestone as we celebrated the launch ceremony of our educational community garden, located at the same school where we established the region’s first-ever recycling point in 2020.

We’re honored to celebrate two incredible individuals who have contributed to Trek Relief’s mission in unique and impactful ways.

First, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to Will Weber for his exceptional service as Board Secretary over the past three years. His dedication, expertise, and countless volunteer hours have been instrumental in guiding Trek Relief’s operations and ensuring our nonprofit thrives. While Will’s term as Secretary has concluded, we’re thrilled that he will continue to contribute to our Board as an Emeritus Member. Thank you, Will, for your unwavering commitment and leadership!

Next, we’re excited to welcome Steven Wong as our new Board Secretary! Steven brings a wealth of experience and enthusiasm to the role, and we’re confident his contributions will help Trek Relief continue to grow and make a meaningful impact.
