Girls Gone Hiking is expanding nationwide and we are looking for passionate women to bring GGH to their state. If you love the outdoors and love community — this one is for you.

What is a GGH Ambassador?

A GGH Ambassador is a woman who brings the Girls Gone Hiking experience to her own backyard.

You’ll organize group hikes, build a local community, and connect women in your area with the outdoors — all under the GGH brand with our full support behind you.

No guiding certification required. No prior business experience needed. Just reliability, good energy, and a genuine love for what we’re building together.
