Winter

 SOS Outreach was founded in Vail, Colorado in 1993. It began as the Snowboard Outreach Society, with a group of snowboarders who wanted to expose underprivileged youth to the mountains, as well as to the sport of snowboarding. Since its founding, SOS has expanded across individual winter sports to include skiing, snowboarding and snowshoeing and is now also introducing summer programs, all while incorporating a youth development curriculum.

SOS 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 discuss and discover the meaning of our 5 core values; courage, discipline, integrity, wisdom, and compassion. In the long term University program, SOS Sherpas (adult mentors) encourage the students to uncover the way these values affect their everyday actions.
