Mission: The American Snowsports Education Association- Education Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation focused on providing valuable resources and training for professional instructors and volunteers who teach the skiing and snowboarding public; particularly, those who teach people with disabilities. The funds brought in by the Foundation demonstrate the tremendous public support for the resources PSIA-AASI produces for its members. (ASEA d.b.a.

Demonstrate the ability to increase ski and snowboard opportunities in the workforce, particularly within disadvantaged populations. 3.
