Montreal, Canada and Steamboat Spring, CO-- In 2018, Chaos Headwear -- makers of high quality headwear in the U.S. and worldwide -- will sponsor five inspiring programs that attempt to connect youth to the outdoors via summer and winter programs. The company continuously gives back and wants to help our next generation to keep their priorities ahead of them by using the outdoors as an extracurricular activity. The Montreal-based company has sponsored SOS Outreach for over 13 years, Outdoor Outreach and Big City Mountaineers for 8 years, Chris Anthony Youth Initiative for 5 years, and Medicine Global for 9. New on board to their youth outreach initiatives is Peak 7.
Through the outdoors in snow and summer sports, SOS Outdoor's evidence-based curriculum offers students ages 8-18 up to 10 years of outdoor experiential learning coupled with character development, values-based leadership training, and community service. Another is Big City Mountaineers, who provides free fully-outfitted and professionally led camping, backpacking and paddling experiences for under-resourced youth. Outdoor Outreach provides opportunities for youth from low-income communities to access the outdoors, to challenge themselves, and to connect with supportive peers and mentors. Each program reaches more than 69,000 participants. Each program creates group cohesiveness, responsibility, and care and respect for the environments. For example, some interactive programs are organized for the kids involve climbing, surfing, hiking, camping, skiing and snowboarding. These students of the outdoors go on to finish high school, attend colleges at a higher rate than their peers, mentor others, and end up giving back themselves. Therefore, this sets a foundation for a cycle to continue.
