    Soul Trak Holiday Party 

    December 13th, 2024 
    6:00 pm - 8:00 pm

    As we approach the holiday season, we invite you to come together with us for a memorable evening of reflection and celebration. This event will not only mark the close of an incredible year but also serve as an opportunity to honor the remarkable individuals—our dedicated volunteers and generous donors—whose support has been the cornerstone of our success in 2024.

    Throughout the year, we’ve accomplished so much together, and now it’s time to pause, celebrate, and acknowledge the collective efforts that have made a difference. This celebration is our way of saying "thank you" to the heart of our organization—those who give their time, resources, and passion to help us thrive.

    A highlight of the evening will be a special spotlight on the Environmental Leadership Cohort's 2024 initiatives. We’ll take a deep dive into the innovative projects and transformative community efforts led by this dynamic group. This year’s initiatives have not only fostered growth within the Environmental Leadership Cohort but also made a lasting impact on the environment and the communities we serve. We’ll celebrate their achievements and recognize the incredible commitment that has powered this year's successes.

    We hope you’ll join us for this unforgettable evening of celebration, gratitude, and inspiration. Together, we’ll reflect on all we’ve achieved, honor the people who made it possible, and look forward to the bright future we are building together.

    We are excited to invite you to a special evening focused on environmental sustainability, advocacy, and empowering people of color to explore and connect with outdoor spaces.

    Join Soul Trak and the Canoe Cruisers Association (CCA) at the pool to gain comfort and confidence in a kayak while in a safe, supportive environment for practicing.

    Volunteers from CCA will provide gear (life jacket/PFD, boats, and paddles) as well as guidance and pointers to practice maneuvering in a kayak. By practicing in a pool, participants gain confidence in rolling and exiting a kayak while in the water. Participants will have the opportunity to meet experienced kayakers, learn about whitewater kayaking, and gain confidence in a kayak in preparation for outdoor adventures! No experience necessary, just come ready to get wet and with enthusiasm to practice! These pool sessions will prepare participants to take the Soul Trak Whitewater Kayaking Class in July on the Potomac River in conjunction with Calleva River School.

    Soul Trak will be offering 4 total pool sessions in the months January, February and March. Due to limited volunteer and gear capacity, there will be a registration limit of 5 participants per session. If the session is full, we encourage you to try signing up for the next session or get on the waitlist as availability might open up. Registration for each session will close a week from the session date. 

    In order to complete your registration and secure your spot, there is a $10 event membership fee to be paid through the Canoe Cruisers Association.


    Registration Requirements:

    1. Register here with Soul Trak, making sure to fill out the Participant Agreement (Google Form), and indicate your approximate sizing (for PFD and kayak sizing). 

    2. Register on CCA's website. Registration on CCA's website is $10. 

    3. Sign the American Canoe Association (ACA) waiver, which will be linked through CCA registration. 

    If you have any questions about registration, please reach out to junko@soultrak.com.

    Soul Trak will be hosting its annual Soul Trak Leader Service Week again this year in the US Virgin Islands. Virgin Islands National Park, occupying 60% of the island of St. John and thousands of acres of coral reef and underwater habitat, provides protection for tropical and migrating birds, fish, corals, marine life, and 800 species of plants, many of which are unique to the islands. The park also preserves and teaches the history of enslaved peoples on sugar plantations, as well as indigenous people who lived on the islands. Volunteers contribute to the preservation and protection of this precious ecosystem and important cultural history, while also enjoying the parks beautiful beaches and marine life. 

    The week will consist of exciting activities and workshops led by both Soul Trak staff and program partners. This is a great opportunity to deepen our bonding experience as a network of outdoor leaders, further our learning around leadership and diversity, and continue to engage in outdoor recreational activities that promote teamwork, skill building, and expand our tolerance for adversity.
