SOS Outreach International

A nonprofit building character in youth through outdoor adventure

Programs

SOS Outreach is a youth development charity. Our mission is to inspire youth to make positive decisions for successful lives.

All SOS Outreach programs offer our value-based leadership curriculum that enhances the experience for students by promoting self-respect, positive relationships, social skills, and positive values. Students discover the meaning of our 5 core values: courage, discipline, integrity, wisdom, and compassion. SOS Sherpas (adult mentors) encourage the students to uncover the way these values affect their everyday actions.

Throughout our growth, SOS Outreach has successfully leveraged partnerships with youth agencies, mountain resorts, the US Forest Service and donors to increase the number of youth served. In the 2009-2010 season, 5,190 youth participated in SOS programs.
