I’ve always loved the word WILL—it’s strong, positive, can-do, and full of future possibility. That’s exactly what I intended when I started Wilderness Leadership & Learning —to create a space where young people realize their potential, push beyond perceived limitations, and embrace the power and greatness they have within them to shape their future.
During COVID, we launched WILLicious Wednesdays to celebrate the people who embody the values of WILL, and the spirit of being WILLicious has only grown since then. But what does it mean to BE WILLIcious?
For me, WILLicious means giving your word and keeping it and being the embodiment of our core values:
Being WILLicious is more than just a word—it’s a way of life. It’s about living with integrity and dignity to be the best version of yourself while making a difference in the lives of others and in the world for others. So get out there and BE WILLicious—take the lead, embrace challenges, and believe in your own power to create change!
