Description
SOS Outreach was founded in 1993 in Colorado’s Vail Valley. As a non-profit organization, we aim to build character and self-esteem in youth through snowsports and the SOS curriculum.
Our programs offer snowboarding programs and the structure of the SOS Curriculum, which includes consistent adult mentors, community service opportunities, and life skill workshops. Through these opportunities, and the adult mentor relationships that are central to our programs, SOS accomplishes its mission of character building in underserved youth to enhance their decision-making for healthy and successful life experiences.
Each SOS program integrates the five core values of our organization: Courage, Discipline, Integrity, Wisdom and Compassion. The core values are an integral part of the entire organization.
