A Higher Calling

Who We Are

A Higher Calling unites four interlinked pillars — Community, Support, Advocacy and Expression — each carried forward by its own branch. Together they define how we stand with people in the outdoors and beyond.

Advocacy

Survivors of SA/DV

We create community-rooted resources for those impacted by sexual assault and domestic violence.

Our Areas of Focus

  • Connect: Survivors can join our monthly support hikes and climbs, now offered in partnership with Edgeworks Climbing + Fitness. Sign-ups are posted on Instagram, and the official Climb, Heal, Overcome website has more details.
  • Restorative Justice: Through referrals, our network of lawyers, law enforcement members, therapists and mental health professionals supports survivors in pursuing justice.
  • Preventative Measures: The Anti-Harassment Alliance and Bystander Training are on the way.
