About the job
Why does Chill exist?
Chill exists to ensure youth have the skills and experiences to become mindful, independent, and resilient individuals who are able to take on new challenges and welcome growth opportunities; to bridge the boardsport and outdoor opportunity gaps and foster a sense of belonging within aâ?¯cool, authentic, and alternative culture; and toâ?¯createâ?¯inclusive space and meaningful experiences forâ?¯allâ?¯youth,â?¯while being mindfulâ?¯ofâ?¯race, sexual orientation, gender identity, socio-economic background, andâ?¯other intersecting identities.â?¯Â
How does Chill achieve this? Â
Revolving around a core value-driven curriculum, Chill programs consist of experiential learning activities, reflection, and discussion, paired with board sport 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. Chill removes all barriers to accessing boardsports by providing participants with everything they need to get after it, at absolutely no cost. New skills gained through boardsport progression and core-value exploration are then directly applied to everyday life, challenging youth to step out of their comfort zone - both on and off their board.Â
