Meet Clara Coffey, President of WOLI . When she's not in biology classes during her senior year at the U, you'll find Clara rock climbing (she’s stoked to get more into trad climbing this fall and is looking for belay buddies!), scouting new lines to ski in the backcountry once snow comes around, or mountain biking during her summers working bike patrol in Whitefish, MT.
​
One of Clara's favorite memories with WOLI was during the panel on Inclusivity in the Outdoors last Spring. She couldn’t believe it when over 200 people gathered in support of making the outdoors a space for everyone !!!
