Here's just a small sampling of the work we've done to develop underprivileged youth over the years.
Learn to ski
Our youth learn to ski programs are designed to engage under-served and underprivileged communities in the heart of Denver, CO. We provide zero cost services enabling access the mountains, educational opportunities and mentoring. Many our of youth begin in traditional resort ski schools and then transition to riding more challenging terrain as they progress in their development. Our staff of expert skiers and snowboarders ensure no kid is left behind and everyone has a fulfilling experience on the mountain. Your donations allow Elevate Backcountry to provide mountain exposure to our youth program participants. Please help us deliver these lasting impacts through a monetary donation today.
Learn to Camp
Elevate Backcountry youth camping adventures combine education, social skills, and core values in each trip. Targeting middle and high school students, we aim to develop youth by instilling foundational leadership traits, creating an inclusive learning environment for all. Our camping program combines team-building initiatives and fun outdoor activities to facilitate the behavioral growth these future leaders will depend on throughout their lives. Camping trips are offered monthly from June to September. Registration opens April 2022!
Learn to speak Up
One of the most important programs we offer focuses on strengthening inner-city communities. The Learn to speak up program is designed to reach youth right in their communities. Through our partnership with local schools and non-profit organizations, we create forums to discuss difficult topics such systemic racism, discrimination, social injustice, and gender inequalities. With an emphasis on inclusion and teamwork, we prepare our youth for recognizing challenging situations then speaking up against them.
