Why Does Chill Exist?
Chill exists to ensure youth have the skills and experiences to become mindful, independent, and resilient individuals who are able to take on new challenges and welcome growth opportunities; to bridge the boardsport and outdoor opportunity gaps and foster a sense of belonging within a cool, authentic, and alternative culture; and to create inclusive space and meaningful experiences for all youth, while being mindful of race, sexual orientation, gender identity, socio-economic background, and other intersecting identities.
How Does Chill Achieve This?
Revolving around a core value-driven curriculum, Chill programs consist of experiential learning activities, reflection, and discussion, paired with board sport lessons. Chill’s six core values provide youth with a foundation and framework for learning and growth, supported and enhanced through on-board progression and adult mentorship. Chill strives to remove barriers to accessing boardsports by providing participants with everything they need to get after it, at absolutely no cost. New skills gained through boardsport progression and core-value exploration are then directly applied to everyday life, challenging youth to step out of their comfort zone – both on and off their board.
Current Openings
Chill is committed to building an inclusive team, and strongly encourages candidates with diverse backgrounds and identities to apply. We will prioritize filling this position with qualified candidates who reflect our youth through lived experience as someone from a marginalized community or with diverse and intersecting identities, including race, sexual orientation, gender identity, socio-economic background, and other identities.
As the Chill Reno Program & Community Coordinator (“PCC”), you will support the delivery of Chill’s programs in Reno-Tahoe, California, ensuring that every youth participant experiences high-quality programming that aligns with Chill’s mission and core values.

With guidance and support from the Program Leadership team, you will coordinate the day-to-day tasks required for program operations, including scheduling, communicating with agencies and mentors, managing gear, and directly facilitating snowboard, skateboard, stand-up paddleboard, and surf programs (note that Chill hires boardsport instructors to teach the boardsport lessons).

The Events Manager will lead a portfolio of high-impact cultivation and stewardship events including intimate donor dinners, curated experiences, and premium fundraising activations that deepen relationships with high-net-worth individuals, corporate partners, and emerging prospects.
This role is responsible for end-to-end event strategy, planning, logistics and sponsor integration, ensuring every experience reflects Chill’s brand and mission while advancing donor stewardship priorities and contributing to the organization’s annual revenue goals.
