How old must a child be to participate in SOS Outreach?
It varies by program, but all our programs are geared toward youth
participants between the ages of 8-18. Students younger or older
than this range should contact SOS directly for additional
information regarding program options.

How can a youth get involved in the University program?
Youth who complete and graduate from our Learn to Ride or Learn to
Ski program are invited back the next year for the University
program, if it is available in their area. Expect a letter of
invitation in September or October.
I don't have an SOS Outreach program in my area, how can we get
one started?
If you have a resort in mind and would like to help start a SOS
Outreach program in your area, please contact our Global Program
Director,
Jon Garrou
My child doesn't have any winter sports or outdoor gear, can
he/she still participate?
Absolutely. SOS Outreach provides all the soft and hard goods
necessary for a child to participate, including jackets, pants,
goggles, gloves and hats for winter programs, as well as everything
for hiking and camping, including tents, hiking boots, and
backpacks.
Is there any cost for students to participate?
Participants in our programs are responsible for a nominal fee for
services. That fee covers a portion of our expenses, and SOS
Outreach covers the remainder of the necessary expenses, with the
cooperation of our corporate partners.
