About Chill
Chill inspires young people through boardsports and builds a more equitable community.
Chill exists to ensure youth have the skills and experiences to become mindful, independent, and resilient individuals who are able to take on new challenges and welcome growth opportunities; to bridge the boardsport and outdoor opportunity gaps and foster a sense of belonging within a cool, authentic, and alternative culture; and to create inclusive space and meaningful experiences for all youth, while being mindful of race, ****** orientation, gender identity, socio-economic background, and other intersecting identities. We work with youth between the ages of 11-1+ who are supported through our partner agencies in cities throughout North America.

About Chill's Programs
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 boardsports by providing participants with everything they need to get after it, at absolutely no cost. New skills gained through boardsport 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 CORE VALUES ARE: RESPECT | PATIENCE | PERSISTENCE | RESPONSIBILITY | COURAGE | PRIDE
