Stories That Work For Good - From Idea to Adventure: Wander Beyond Finds Its Path with Can-Do Kal...

Every great adventure starts with a single step, and for Wander Beyond, that first step was taken with the support of Can-Do Kalamazoo. Through entrepreneurial guidance, business planning, and personalized coaching, founder Marci transformed a passion for the outdoors into a mission-driven business that helps women discover confidence, community, and connection on the trail. Today, Wander Beyond empowers women with backpacking and camping skills through thoughtfully designed trips, retreats, guided hikes, and educational experiences that make the outdoors more welcoming and accessible for adventurers of all experience levels. Guided by the belief that everyone deserves a place to belong, Wander Beyond creates supportive spaces where participants can build skills, forge lasting friendships, and realize they're capable of going farther than they ever imagined. Marci's journey is one of many that Can-Do Kalamazoo has helped set in motion, equipping local entrepreneurs with the tools and confidence to turn bold ideas into thriving businesses that strengthen our community and inspire others to take the next step. Stories that Work for Good is made possible with support from the Harold & Grace Upjohn Foundation.
