SOS Outreach is looking for Resort Program
Coordinators!
SOS Outreach is a sports-based youth development organization. Our goal is to help build character and self-esteem in underserved youth through outdoor activities. We partner with local schools and mountain resorts in the winter to provide multi-day snowsports programs that incorporate a set of core values: courage, discipline, integrity, wisdom, and compassion.

Resort Program Coordinators serve as an extension of our full-time staff and oversee our five day Learn-To- Ride and Learn-To-Ski Programs. Sessions take place over the course of five, eight hour, consecutive weekend days, and consist of roughly forty hours of work per session. For each session the Resort Program Coordinator is compensated with $400.

Resort Program Coordinator responsibilities include, but are not limited to:
• Attend a Resort Program Coordinator training session
• Attending pre-program night from 4-6 the Wednesday before the first ride day
• Managing paperwork packets: liability waivers, ski passes, emergency contact sheets, incident reports, attendance, and post-evaluations
• Distributing and collecting borrowed soft goods at the beginning and end of each day
• Tracking attendance each ride day (with volunteer support)
• Assisting in the rental equipment distribution each ride day
• Facilitating the Circle of Love every morning and afternoon
• Checking in on groups while they are riding on the hill with resort instructors
• Serving as the main point person in case of any emergencies
• Meeting the groups for lunch and distributing vouchers
• Preparing for and facilitating a graduation ceremony on the final ride day with SOS staff support
• Maintaining strong communication with the SOS office and reporting on information (such as attendance and injuries) after each ride day
• Participating in every ride day- consistency is key!
