In addition to her professional activities, Lauren is active in the community. She teaches rock climbing and is an active fundraiser for the Women's Wilderness Institute ("WWI") a non–profit organization offering educational, inspirational courses in backpacking, rock climbing, mountain biking, canoeing, fly fishing and yoga. WWI's mission is to strengthen the courage, confidence and leadership skills of girls and women through the challenge and support of wilderness and community based experiences.
