Our Impact

In 2023, the challenged of COVID-19 we still present, but we saw some exciting new developments across our programs. Based on community feedback, we revamped our staffing structure to support a return to fully in-person format, reduced the total time commitment and transportation burden on participants and volunteers, expanded out summer programs offerings, and worked to focus our curriculum on building core skills identified by youth leadership as high priority for development! In-person activities got more youth outside and gave them the opportunity to connect with their community through snowboarding lessons and service projects. Weekly virtual workshops covered a range of social justice topics, such as self-care, undoing oppression, the environment, and food justice. 

From January through May 2023, Core Program (CP) gave youth the opportunity to experience:

  • 62+ hours of snowboarding trips 
  • 16+ hours of service in the community 
  • 28+ hours of social justice workshops (CP)
  • 100 hours of summer outdoor & environmental justice workshops
  • 40+ hours of Peer Leadership training
  • 50 hours of other tSB sponsored activities & events
  • Total: Almost 300 hours in community

Youth Stories

  • Sophia | 2021 Prophet 

    “There is no other place in the world like tSB. I have never in my life been a part of a group with such differing life experiences and choices, where despite this everyone exhibits kindness and a willingness to learn and grow like no other. Wherever your interest and experiences lie, you will find someone to relate to at tSB as there are people of all ages, and walks of life. It’s somewhere I believe anyone could truly feel at home.”

     

     

  • Elaine | 2019 Prophet, 2020 Peer Leader, 2021 Wintern

    “Originally, when joining the program, I wanted a place where I could escape from reality and be me, fortunately, tSB was just that. I learned about social justice topics that I would’ve never learned about in school alongside such a diverse group of other youth as we grew together developing our thinking of the world we thought was “normal”.  tSB helped me realize the power of not only my voice but the power of young people as a whole. When I say that tSB is my family, I really do sincerely mean it, throughout the past year tSB has become a part of my chosen family and I wouldn’t have it any other way.”

  • Kenny | 2020 Prophet, 2021 Peer Leader

    “My time in tSB taught me to be more confident in my experiences and my own truth. It validated and supported me in ways I haven’t been supported in before. tSB opened space for me and dozens of other youth to be open and understand the world in a safe, comforting environment.”
