New for the 2025 season, the CASI Instructors Mentorship Program is a volunteer-based [pilot] program for all CASI instructors that aims to provide mentorship to instructors of any identity, with special emphasis on historically excluded groups. Everyone deserves to feel included and welcomed in snowboarding. We are stoked to have this program in place to help instructors in the community in the form of guidance, support, aid in achieving their goals, be them riding\/teaching, motivation or anything in between, you are supported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To apply to <\/a>be a Mentor or to receive Mentorship (mentee) this season, tap the appropriate link below!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OUR COMMUNITY<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Community Coordinators will help facilitate program participation and the creation of pairings within regions. They may also be mentors or mentees themselves. Mentors and mentees can communicate with their Community Coordinators or the CASI Instructors Mentorship Team (Program Leaders) should they need support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
