Ways to Support Ripples of Wisdom
It takes many hands and hearts working together
to keep the journey moving down the river.
Volunteer Oportunities
Providing Lodging
The expedition team consists of two primary paddlers and two car support people who travel with all our camping gear. It is our goal to be within five miles of the river for lodging. To offer lodging, check the itinerary to see when we will be in your location and Contact Us for more details.
Provide Car Support
Two women work together as our car support. This non-paid position is a commitment for a minimum of one week. We have a van that is equipped to carry our gear and four people. Car support is in contact with the paddling team, secures lodging, food and any other supplies on the road. Car support is confirmed prior to our departure. For more details click here
I want to offer car support.
Provide a Meal
on Location
A home cooked meal is always a treat. To offer a meal, check our itinerary to see when we will be in your location and Contact Us for more details. Once we have departed we anticipate we will only be able to check for messages once a week.
Hold a Fundraising Event
Women are great at creating events to raise funds for something they are passionate about. We need to approve any event you sponsor for Ripples of Wisdom. We are not a non- profit organization so donations are not deductable. If you want to hold an event Contact Us.
Financial Support
Ripples of Wisdom
is a division of
Creative Journeys, Inc.
www.onacreativejourney.com
Neither are non-profit organizations, therefore contributions of any kind are not tax deductable. Any shortfall in funds for the trip are covered by Nancy Scheibe.
Sponsor a Day of Paddling
For $200 you can sponsor a day of paddling. You will receive: a photo of the paddling team taken on the day that you sponsored; journal entries describing the day's events; a tee shirt; a copy of the latest Ripples Of Wisdom book.
