The work we do together is absolutely critical in ensuring that our kids have the skills, tools, and resources to succeed no matter what obstacles arise. With your support, we are doubling down on our efforts and connecting more than 3,000 youth—from the Cascades to the Sierras to the Rockies to the Midwestern hills—to an encouraging, supportive community through this unprecedented season.
Many businesses match employee charitable donations and volunteer time – contact human resources at your company to see if they provide a matching contribution benefit.
Belong with your mentors, belong with your community
Provide a scholarship for our multi-year Mentor Program or Junior Mentor Program where youth deepen their sense of belonging with peers and mentors on and off the mountain through skill-building workshops and community service
Provide a scholarship for a teen or graduate to learn job skills and enter the outdoor industry through our Career Development Program and continue their growth journey through our Alumni Network
