Adaptive Sports Association (ASA) kicks off the winter season with volunteer training! ASA is a non-profit sports and recreation outfitter for people with disabilities. Volunteer training is free and a great way for people interested in the outdoors to get involved and connect with their community. Volunteers are needed daily to teach ski and snowboard lessons. No experience is necessary, but volunteers must be at least intermediate skiers or snowboarders. Volunteers also earn discounted skiing at Purgatory and college credit through arranged internships. Orientations are November 15th and 17th (choose 1) at the Durango Rec Center. Returning volunteers meet 6-7 PM. New volunteers meet 7-8 PM. Call 970-259-0374 for more information. ASA’s programs enrich and transform the lives of people with disabilities through sports and recreation. By working with participants to overcome physical and cognitive challenges in a safe, supportive environment, ASA volunteers help participants "explore possibilities."
