This year, SheJumps launched a program in collaboration with the Boys and Girls Club over the month of March. The Boys and Girls Club is a nation-wide program which focuses on inspiring and enabling the youth in the community, especially those who need it most, to become caring and responsible individuals through guidance-oriented adult relationships and engagement in a variety of enriching activities within a safe environment.
I was privileged enough to coach for one of the four Saturdays in March, where the a group from the Boys and Girls Clubs came up to ski with several of the SheJumpers for the day at Alta.
I spent the day skiing with Shanny and Hilary, exploring Alta and teaching them few fun facts about skiing, powder snow and how to get around on the flats.

I was so amazed at the girls ability to ski and enjoy everything about it. Hilary skied a little when she was a girl and Shanny had only skied a few days and both of them made great turns and improved super fast. I was so proud of them and so happy to be involved with girls that were passionate about learning.
After skiing all day, the group chilled out and got ready to dig into the massive cookie cake that the Alta Peruvian Lodge had made for Hannah Whitney's birthday.
hoorah!
