This is my 3rd year volunteering with Achieve to help disabled kids and adults. Achieve Tahoe is a nonprofit that builds health, confidence and independence through sports for children and adults with disabilities. The organization serves over 500 people a year through one-on-one snowsports lessons, and summer sports. We go through rigorous training to become instructors and the more years we do, the more valuable we are to the organization. We are taught how to work with our students to understand their situation and how to help them. We have to work with specialised equipment to help just about anyone with any disability.
Achieve Tahoe participants and family members often say that their experience with Achieve Tahoe goes on to affect other areas of their life - such as gaining confidence, becoming more social, and breaking down perceived barriers showing them that they can do things they perhaps never thought they could before.
"We were introduced to Achieve Tahoe by our friend, Mike, five years ago when our daughter, Tate, was 10. Tate has Down syndrome and has skied with your program every season since....We feel so fortunate to have benefited from your fantastic organization. Last week Tate skied with her brothers, Dad and I for the first time without an instructor. While we were on the chairlift she exclaimed, 'I love this...it makes me feel so alive!' Needless to say I had tears running down my cheeks as I took a video of her skiing down [a blue ski run]. Tate loves skiing, has a true sense of pride in her ability and can now independently enjoy what I'm certain will be a lifelong sport. I can say with confidence that I don't think this would have been possible without Achieve Tahoe. Your organization, staff and volunteers have made a real difference in our lives." -Sarah W. 2019
