Junior Mentor
Gaining knowledge and confidence, older participants graduate from the Mentor Program to become mentors themselves. As junior mentors, they guide younger participants during ride days, off-hill workshops, and activities. They share their experiences and joy with the next generation of SOS participants, inspiring classmates and families to follow in their footsteps, uplifting everyone within their circle of influence.
My favorite part about SOS is being able to pass down my love of snowboarding to younger kids and getting them pumped on all things SOS. Hopefully, when they grow up, they’ll be inspired to become junior mentors and the cycle continues.

About the Program
Once participants have successfully completed the Learn to Ride and Mentor program portions of the SOS curriculum, they are eligible to apply to the Peer Mentor program. Coming full circle, these youth give back to their younger peers, serving as role models for youth in the early years of our Mentor program. Throughout the experience, Peer Mentors continue to learn about leadership on and off the hill and how to take control of their lives through their positive choices.

Our dedicated partner, Vail Resorts Retail (VRR) offers our program participants the option to purchase equipment through them at a highly subsidized rate. As youth progress through our program, there is an option to trade in equipment purchased the first year through VRR for different sizes at a reduced price.
