SOS Outreach Celebrates Another Banner Winter Season

As the largest winter season in SOS Outreach’s history comes to a close, the organization is excited to announce that SOS served 3,940 youth across the organization’s ten program sites in Denver, Eagle County, Summit County, Steamboat Springs and Durango, Colorado, as well as Lake Tahoe, Nevada, Seattle, Washington, Portland, Oregon, Park City Utah, and new this year, Detroit, Michigan during the 2016/17 winter.  In Eagle County alone, 200 youth participated in the introductory Academy program, while 250 continued on through the mentor-based University program and 25 completed the capstone Masters program, acting as peer mentors to younger participants. Beyond activities on the hill, SOS participants across the country participated in over 500 hours of community service initiatives within their communities and 350 hours of leadership development workshops cumulatively.
