The Jay Kemmerer WORTH Institute

At the Jay Kemmerer WORTH Institute, we believe Wyoming's future depends on preparing the next generation of leaders in outdoor recreation, tourism, and hospitality. Your Giving Day gift provides critical scholarship and internship support that helps students gain the education, experience, and professional opportunities they need to thrive while building stronger communities across our state.

Many of our students are passionate about creating a vibrant future for Wyoming but face financial challenges that can limit their ability to pursue internships, field experiences, industry certifications, and other high-impact learning opportunities. Gifts to the WORTH Institute help remove those barriers, allowing students to gain real-world experience, connect with employers, and explore career paths that align with their passions and talents.

The impact of these opportunities extends far beyond the classroom. Scholarships and experiential learning experiences have helped WORTH students pursue dream careers, develop innovative solutions for Wyoming communities, and become leaders in industries that contribute to the state's economy and quality of life. Every gift—regardless of size—invests directly in student success and creates opportunities that might otherwise be out of reach.

This Giving Day, join us in empowering students to learn, lead, and make a difference. Together, we can provide life-changing opportunities that help students achieve their goals while shaping the future of Wyoming's outdoor recreation, tourism, and hospitality industries.
