WINGS ADVANCES WOMEN EXPLORERS IN THE FIELD
WINGS WorldQuest is the only organization that awards unrestricted grants to exceptional women leading quests to advance knowledge and find solutions to global problems through bold research and exploration projects. Grants and honoraria are awarded to Women of Discovery Awardees, Flag Carriers and speakers.
Since 2003, WINGS has honored more than 130 scientists and explorers across almost 70 countries and provided more than $680,000 in research and field support. WINGS also has a unique Emergency Fund that addresses the ongoing threats women scientists and explorers face as they do their job.
WINGS CONNECTS WOMEN EXPLORERS WORLDWIDE
WINGS WorldQuest serves a growing global community of women Fellows and Flag Carriers by providing a platform through which they can network, share ideas and achievements, and garner support for their work.
WINGS INSPIRES THE NEXT GENERATION
The WINGS WorldQuest Junior Council is a group of young professional women that are passionate about supporting women in science and exploration. The JC supports WINGS’ efforts financially, including a dedicated fund to sponsor a WINGS Fellow grant per year, via fundraising events and campaigns.
The WINGS WorldQuest Youth Leadership Council is a new high school initiative to increase awareness of the WINGS Fellows and Flag Carriers as modern-day role models, engaging young people in the sciences and motivating them to be curious, thoughtful and committed to creating a better world.
WINGS sponsors outreach programs, such as seminars, workshops, and webinars, where WINGS Fellows and Flag Carriers share behind-the-scenes aspects of expeditions and stories about career paths, inspiring the next generation of intrepid problem solvers.
