STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

In 2006, SOS Outreach launched its Learn to Ride program with just a handful of participants. With the incredible impact witnessed since then, there was a clear need for the multi-year Mentor program. Thanks to funding from the Share Winter Foundation and support from Steamboat Ski Resort, the mentor program was implemented during the 22-23 season with 130 kids and teens enrolled from Routt and Moffat counties.

MENTOR Spotlight

“There are so many opportunities to volunteer in our community and they all have such an impact, but I wanted to find one where I could have a direct impact on kids by interacting with them face to face. SOS gave me a way to spend a whole day with the kids where I can talk to them about the core values of SOS, teach some life skills and have fun at the same time.”

David Lustig, SOS mentor

Our Curriculum

LEARN TO RIDE

Kids learn a new outdoor activity and the importance of our six core values: courage, discipline, integrity, wisdom, humility, and compassion.

MENTOR PROGRAM

With the support of a dedicated mentor, participants continue outdoor activities, grow tangible life skills, perform community service, and put the core values to practice with peer groups.

HIGH SCHOOL & BEYOND

Youth have opportunities to apply the skills they’ve developed by engaging as Junior Mentors, with the Career Development Program and with the organization’s Alumni Network.
