Memento - Thesis Statement:
My mission is to encourage inner city and disadvantaged kids to be proud of themselves, to be independent, and to care for others and the environment through snowboarding.
Nonprofit Organization:
Chill is a nonprofit organization that takes underprivileged and at-risk kids snowboarding once a week for six weeks and provides lift tickets, instruction, bus transportation and head-to-toe gear. Chill partners with youth and social service agencies in each of its sites that serve boys and girls ages 10-18 in up to 170 kids each from 11 US cities participates in this program.
Chill's mission is to provide troubled kids with the chance to succeed through the sport of snowboarding.
Project Description:
Memento is an award and accessory line that supports the Chill programfs mission of building youthfs self-esteem. Six awards and accessory components are designed for each week. The component will be giving each week to every child who participated the program to encourage children to complete the program. Each award nests into the other so that at the end of the six weeks the kids have a beautiful and complex snowflake award to make them proud. After they complete the program, Memento still reminds participants of their experience, like a Boy Scout badge, graduation ring or a plaque.
