CHILL:
Who We Are:
Chill is a 501 C3 nonprofit learn to snowboard program for underserved youth. Every year, we take an average of 120 youth from each of our 13 city sites to the slopes. We provide them with everything they need to learn to ride: lift tickets, lessons, transportation, and head-to-toe gear.
Snowboarding is fun and a great activity for the youth we serve, but it takes several lessons and plenty of hard work to learn. We use it to motivate youth to accomplish goals they never thought they could, while teaching them some of the most important lessons in life about patience, persistence, responsibility, courage, respect, and pride. With positive adult role models, engaging activities, and incredible mountain environments we build self confidence and raise self esteem.
This winter alone, Chill will work with over 14,500 youth in 14 North American cities, Sydney, Australia, and Innsbruck, Austria. Since our inception, Chill has positively impacted over 12,000 underserved youth.
Chill's mission is to build the self-esteem of underserved youth through board sports.
Who We Serve:
Chill serves youth facing a multitude of challenges: youth in group homes and foster care; with addictions; from the juvenile justice system; those struggling with drugs, violence, excessive anger, or depression. Many of the youth have never left their cities, and most have never been to the mountains. Chill gives these youth the chance to break boundaries and find their opportunities to be successful in life. More than that, Chill helps these youth look forward, to see beyond the circumstances of today; encouraging them to focus on positive alternatives for the future.
