West Virginia University Adventure WV

Day of Giving

WVU's Day of Giving is Scheduled for Wednesday, March 26th.

The Adventure WV program is guided by the values of integrity, student-centrism, community and collaboration, challenge, quality and professionalism and adventure. By supporting us this Day of Giving, you'll be providing much needed funds to help us in the fulfillment of our mission. Donations of $5, $10, $15, or more will undoubtedly make an impact on our ability to support our student staff and continue our efforts to alleviate financial and material barriers to participation. All proceeds will go directly to the following initiatives:

  • Provide scholarships for students to participate in our extended and international trips. These opportunities encourage students to prioritize personal growth, leadership development, and social responsibility

  • Provide the essential gear for students to utilize during our trips. In order to alleviate barriers to participation, and thus make our programs more accessible, jackets, layers, boots and other critical personal equipment needs will be purchased and made available for students prior to their experience. 

  • Cultivate relationships with academic and campus partners to support the overall retention effort at WVU. Our aim is to collaborate to identify vulnerable populations and strategically engage these student segments with empirically driven program experiences.

  • Provide professional development opportunities to our student staff. This allows our staff to expand their leadership and enhance our effectiveness of peer-to-peer programs.
