SOS Outreach

SOS Outreach humbly began nearly 30 years ago, they took 15 kids from the big city of Denver to the fresh air of Vail Mountain to snowboard for the first time. Those kids left that day forever inspired by the transformative power of the outdoors.

Over two decades later, SOS Outreach has grown into a national nonprofit spanning from the Cascades to the Sierras to the Rockies to the Midwestern hills—serving more than 3,000 youth each year across 15 locations in 9 states, and offering year-round programming at several of our sites.

Their life-changing programs combine outdoor exploration, positive adult mentorship, leadership skills and community service to help youth discover joy, feel included, overcome challenges, improve their mental health, and become strong leaders.
