Puget Sound Adventures: Send International Students Into the Wild

Imagine arriving in a new country — thousands of miles from home, still learning the language, trying to find your footing. Now imagine your first hike through a misty Pacific Northwest forest, surrounded by new friends who are just as wide-eyed as you are.

That’s what FIUTS’ Puget Sound Adventures makes possible. Through guided hikes and outdoor excursions, we help international students discover their new home, forge real friendships, and build the leadership skills that last a lifetime.

This spring, we’re aiming to send 300 students on an adventure. Every $25 sponsors one student’s spot. Will you help us get there?

 
 

Your gift makes a direct, measurable difference:

  • $25 sends one student on their first Pacific Northwest hike

  • $100 connects four students with our region’s natural beauty

  • 100% of donations go directly to student trip costs — zero overhead
