The Chill Foundation Connects Youth with Salt Lake’s Mountain Culture

YOUTH FROM 14 AREA AGENCIES WILL BENEFIT FROM SNOWBOARDING PROGRAMS AT NO COST

Chill’s positive youth development programs in Salt Lake City are back for the 2020 winter season! Beginning in January, local youth will participate in their six-week snowboarding programs at Brighton Resort and Powder Mountain. All associated costs are covered for the participants including transportation, gear, lift tickets, and lessons.

Chill is a positive youth development program where boardsports become a vehicle for empowerment. Revolving around a core value-driven curriculum, Chill programs consist of experiential learning activities, reflection, and discussion, paired with boardsport 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.

“The Chill Salt Lake City program is the culmination of years of hard work. We’re incredibly stoked to be back on snow at Brighton Resort and Powder Mountain in partnership with numerous amazing organizations that serve youth facing challenges,” said Alex Bornstein, Executive Director at Chill. “The energy and passion in the Salt Lake area for Chill’s work is unparalleled and we can’t wait to see how this program evolves.”

Chill reaches over 2,000 youth annually, with programs in 16 cities throughout North America.

The mission of the Chill Foundation is to inspire youth to overcome challenges through boardsports.
