HOW TO ENROLL

The first step to join the SOS Outreach Family is Registration. For nearly 30 years SOS Outreach has committed to providing youth with adult mentorship, outdoor adventures, and core values and community service.

Learn To Ride/Ski

To participate in our Learn To Ride/Ski Program youth need to be in 3rd grade or higher and have 10 days or less experience skiing or snowboarding. We love never-evers! 

Mentor Program

To participate in our Mentor Program youth need to complete the Learn to Ride Program OR be able to reliably stop and turn on skis or a snowboard.

To complete registrations you will need a specific session number for the program. If you do not know your session number, please speak with your local SOS Program Manager or the youth agency that you are participating with. 

SPREAD THE LOVE

We partner with local youth-serving organizations (schools, after-school programs, etc.) who work with kids in the area that will benefit most from our programs. Together with those organizations, we identify youth, register them, and work together to support them in our program and beyond. Having the volunteers from those organizations involved in our programs reinforces the positive relationships youth already have, and provides a supportive network while we expose them to new peers, positive adults, and experiences. If a child wants to participate from a school or group that we do not already partner with, please reach out to our local Program Manager and we can discuss eligibility. 

SAFETY FIRST

Here at SOS, we prioritize the safety of your child. All volunteers who work with our youth are background checked and receive extensive training before they begin to work with our kids. Throughout our programs, we partner with mountain staff and our dedicated volunteers to ensure your child is with a trusted adult at all times. 

Program Payment

SOS Outreach believes that every child deserves the opportunity to participate in the program. If cost is prohibitive to participation, please speak with your local Program Manager about scholarship opportunities.

My child doesn’t have any winter sports or outdoor gear. Can my child still participate?

Absolutely! SOS has a large inventory of jackets, snow pants, goggles, and gloves, for winter programs, as well as everything necessary for hiking and camping including tents, sleeping bags, sleeping pads, and backpacks. In our introductory program, all equipment and winter clothing is provided should your child need it.  As youth progress to the mentoring program, we are still able to provide all of the winter clothing and there are options in many locations to purchase ski/snowboard equipment at a very discounted rate.


Is there any cost for students to participate?

There is a fee for service in order to participate in SOS’s programs. The fee covers a portion of program expenses and with support from our corporate sponsors and generous donors, SOS Outreach covers the remainder of the necessary expenses. Please contact your local program contact for pricing.


What does “underserved” really mean?

The kids we help are at a disadvantage because of things like their address and socioeconomic status, not their spirit. In fact, our kids are optimistic, resilient and ready to work hard. They simply don’t have the same access to resources and information that many of us did, which prepared us for life as an adult. Risk factors we look at include – among others – poor attendance in school, low grades, speaking English as a second language, exposure to drugs and alcohol, involvement with the court system, and low household income. In general, we recruit participants who are dealing with at least two of our risk factors. View our Inventory of Strengths and Needs to see if your child could benefit from our programs.
