Ascend Afghanistan - Ascend is an international nonprofit organization that builds female leaders through athletics-based training. Our vision is to develop citizen-athletes who take an active role in their society's transition from war to peace. Since 2015, Ascend has put over 100 young women through a 2-year training program that prepares girls to be physically and mentally strong and encourages them to be active community leaders and role models. We highlight the capability of women through ambitious mountaineering expeditions; it was an Ascend team member who made history in 2018 as the first Afghan woman to summit Mt Noshaq (Afghanistan's highest mountain). We create change through a holistic training program including rock climbing, backcountry skills, psychosocial wellbeing, yoga, fitness, nutrition, and communication skills. Each participant completes a service project in her community, broadening the reach of the program to assist many others, and giving participants experience in community activism.
