Proven experience
From 2009-2018, Shane Wright raised over $3 million dollars to build the Youth, Food, Water, and Natural Resource programs for GroundWork Denver (a member of the GroundWork USA group of national trusts) who’s goal is to represent the changing face of America’s future in conservation and the environment.
After receiving his Master’s Degree in Non-Profit Management, Shane was honored to build this organization and it’s people and programs from the ground up.
From 2018 until now, Wright Adventures has secured over $700,000/yr to help build the Higher Education and Career Pathways programs for Lincoln Hills Cares. Pathways program now employs over 50 youth per year, advocates and builds plans for the restoration of the South Platte River and continues to develop leaders in conservation, outdoor recreation and the environment.
