SOS Outreach is a youth development nonprofit that empowers kids and teenagers through outdoor-based mentorship and a multi-year curriculum that teaches core values, builds character, develops life skills, and fosters a sense of belonging. This year, we’re serving over 200 kids in Detroit.

We’re raising funds to bring students from Hamtramck High School and University Preparatory Academy High School to Crystal Mountain for a three-day ski and snowboard trip. For many of these students, this will be their first time seeing northern Michigan.

This trip means much more than just skiing. It’s about opening doors and giving young people space to challenge themselves, build community, and see what’s possible beyond their everyday surroundings. Your support helps cover transportation and meals, so cost is never a barrier for our kids.

Every donation helps create an experience these students will carry with them for years. Thank you for believing in access, opportunity, and the power of mentorship.
