Volunteer with Burton's Chill Foundation in Reno, NV

Chill is a positive youth development program where board sports become a vehicle for empowerment.

---

Revolving around a core value-driven curriculum, Chill programs consist of experiential learning activities, reflection, and discussion, paired with board sport lessons. Chill’s six core values provide youth with a foundation and framework for learning and growth, supported and enhanced through on-board progression and adult mentorship.

Chill removes all barriers to accessing board sports by providing youth with everything they need to get after it, at absolutely no cost. New skills gained through board sport progression and core-value exploration are then directly applied to everyday life, challenging youth to step out of their comfort zone – both on and off their board.

Chill Reno

The Chill Reno snow programs take place on the slopes at Boreal Mountain, and in the Woodward Tahoe Bunker facility located at the mountain. The six-week program runs January-March, and have the unique opportunity to utilize Woodward’s indoor tumbling floor, trampolines, and foam pits.

Chill Reno is lead by local Ali Cooke. Ali learned to snowboard at a small mountain in Pennsylvania where she grew up. As she got older she discovered her passion for sharing the love of snowboarding to others. Ali has been teaching snowboarding for ten years! She originally started with Chill as an instructor at Chill Baltimore. She currently lives in Truckee, California. Ali still shares her love for snowboarding to the youth of Reno and Tahoe through several outreach programs, including Chill. Although snowboarding is Ali’s favorite board sport, you might catch her on a longboard in the summer from time to time.
