How do you teach someone that the more you fall the more opportunities there are to get back up? By going through it yourself. Here’s a rundown of the 2012 Snow Mentor program!

The Role of a Volunteer

Sport volunteers are an essential part of Stoked. In fact, we wouldn’t function without you guys and we are extremely grateful for your continued support. Volunteers are expected to teach (and mentor, if applicable) youth to snowboard while creating an encouraging and supportive environment for them. In addition volunteers should be positive role models and ambassadors of Stoked values for the youth.

Equipment: What we Have

We provide all necessary equipment (boards, boots, helmets, goggles, jackets, snow pants and gloves) for the youth and you. If you have your own snow gear by all means feel free to use it but Stoked is not responsible for lost or stolen items. Snacks and lunch are also provided but if you have special dietary needs please plan to BYO.

Where/When New York:

We go to Belleayre Mountain in the Catskills. The mountain is about two hours by bus with pick-ups at the Atlantic Center in Brooklyn at 6am and in Chelsea, Manhattan, at 21st Street and 6th Ave. at 6:30am. We return to those same locations between 7-7:30pm. Dates are as follows:

Jan. 7, Jan. 21, Jan. 28, Feb. 4, Feb. 11, Feb. 25, Mar. 3

Where/When Los Angeles:

We go to Snow Summit in Los Angeles. Snow Summit is about two hours by bus with a pick-up at Stoked Los Angeles Headquarters (1930 Wilshire Boulevard) at 6:45am. Dates are as follows:

*Dates are subject to change for Los Angeles.

HOW TO GET INVOLVED: Email volunteer@stoked.org and we will send you necessary materials to register for trips.

Thank you, we’re looking forward to shredding with you guys this winter!
