Help Expand The World of a Young Person

Will you join us in helping a young person develop the resiliency and skills to live a life they never knew they could achieve?

THE MISSION...

SHRED is dedicated to fostering diversity and inclusivity within the snowboarding community by providing accessible opportunities to marginalized youth.

Our mission centers on breaking down barriers to entry in snowboarding and the snowboarding industry, offering these youth not only the chance to participate in the sport but also to explore career paths within the industry.

By emphasizing the mental health benefits associated with snowboarding and skateboarding, such as stress reduction, enhanced decision-making, boosted confidence, and improved mood, SHRED aims to support the holistic well-being of participants.

Through our programming, we strive to create a more diverse, inclusive, and mentally resilient snowboarding community, paving the way for future generations to thrive both on and off the board.
