For the past three years, Slopes4Sanity has been committed to creating a safe and supportive space for youth in the Reno, NV community. Our goal is to provide access to outdoor action sports and recreation, giving young people an outlet in nature that helps build resilience, confidence, and stronger mental health.

We believe that financial barriers should never prevent a child from experiencing these opportunities. That’s why we work to keep our programs affordable and accessible—ensuring that every youth has the chance to build lasting memories, develop new skills, and enjoy the outdoors.

​

Jonas and Shelby both have 15+ years working with youth in the mental health and educational setting. The idea for Slopes came from Jonas starting a ski + snowboard program through a local school. He saw the fulfillment it brought all children and the idea unfolded from there. Instead of focusing solely on winter sports, S4S is focused on all outdoor activities that may be more difficult for youth to reach without proper guidance and resources. 

 

Overall, we want this program to give back to the community.
