Sophie Kwon: Founder

It all started when...

I helped by volunteering at an annual event my rock climbing team sponsors, Climb For Congo, that invites youth groups to climb in order to fundraise for an organization that financially supports orphans in the Democratic Republic of Congo. I loved knowing that we were helping the orphans, but I knew there was something more I could do to make an actual impact on the communities directly surrounding me, where people are suffering too. That's when I decided to found All Kids Can Climb as a means to organize efforts for events that would help kids in and around Dallas realize the strength and potential found within themselves. With this organization, I hope to make a visible impact on my community by sharing my love for the sport of rock climbing with people who may not get the chance to try it otherwise.
