As a volunteer of 22 yrs and current Board member, I am always amazed by the bravery and challenges our students are willing to take The leaps forward by students after one lesson are obvious to all, and the student's pride in their accomplishments are inspiring. The staff, the volunteers, and clients have more fun than anywhere else I've hung out - what an awesome organization!
I am going into my sixth year as an ASA volunteer ski instructor. Each and every time I teach a lesson at ASA, I am inspired. Inspired by my students. Inspired by the staff and volunteers I am so privileged to be a part of. I might teach my students how to ski, but they teach me so much more about life. Their positive, enthusiastic attitudes are infectious. They remind me each and everyday that there is always something to smile about.
For the past 5 years, I have been blessed by volunteering with Adaptive Sports. Pretty awesome eclectic group of volunteers all with the same goal of making someone smile while they learn a new skill. I'm not helping the clients, they are helping me more than they will ever know! Love it!!!
I am a client who has participated with ASA Durango for several years. This program is outstanding and the leadership and volunteers are all so helpful and supportive. I am very greatful for this program and the support they give to the disabled community. No better team.
We are so grateful for ASA because they were able to teach our son (with autism) to SKI! The magical Rob was patient with our son, took it slowly and made it FUN - and not only was it a BIG confidence-builder for our not-so-athletic son, it is a THRILL to be able to ski now as a FAMILY!! I will be forever grateful for Ann Marie, Rob and all the others at ASA! THANK you!!!
