CAN (LET’S) delivered our Disability Awareness workshop with staff from the Chill Foundation.
CAN (LET’S) also reviewed Chill Foundation’s volunteer training material to ensure it was accessible and used no ableist language.
Chill Foundation
“Chill was founded in 1995 by Jake and Donna Carpenter, founders of Burton Snowboards.
Chill has served more than 30,000 young people since the program began, working with more than 2,000 youth annually. We partner with social service agencies, mental health agencies, foster care programs, juvenile justice programs, and schools in local communities to engage youth participants. All gear and services necessary to enjoy boardsports are provided to the youth at no cost.
Our programs recognize the inherent strength and potential present in each of our participants.
Through boardsports, we teach new skills, build confidence, and inspire a lifelong love for boardsports.”
