Power To Be’s Quarterly Impact Report – Q1 2025

Hi there, I’m Rahul, and I've been on Power To Be’s board for nearly four years, with three of those years spent as Board Chair. As we begin a new year and the start of many more adventures together, I’d like to share some of what Power To Be has been up to for the past few months.

The Impact of Paddleboards on Power To Be’s Programs: A Reflection by Paul

At Power To Be, we are constantly striving to enhance our programs and provide meaningful experiences for our participants. One of the most significant additions to our toolkit has been the paddleboards, generously funded by the Mr. and Mrs. P.A. Woodward’s Foundation. These paddleboards have not only expanded our program offerings but have also had a profound impact on our community.

Power To Be’s Quarterly Impact Report – Q3 2024

Hello! My name is Mike Kucherawy and I’ve been involved with Power To Be for over 15 years. It’s amazing to think back and admire how far Power To Be has come, and how many families have been enriched by this great team over the years. I love how the vision continues to grow over time, to include bigger goals and have a farther reach in terms of connection and support. I became a monthly donor because I know what an important part of our community Power To Be is, and I hope they are still thriving for generations to come.

However, there are significant representation gaps in who shows up to work in the outdoor sector. How do people with different abilities, needs, and backgrounds see themselves in this incredible sector?
