ive been a long time advocate and ambassador for the service board
i first became involved back in 2007 through application as a prophet
when i noticed their booth in my high school cafeteria, aside from the snowboard video they had playing
they showed off their filthy t-shirts designed by pars kid (local artist)

which caught my attention (ahem) so i came up and asked, “how do i get my hands on one of these filthy t shirts???”
person: just sign up!
little did i know then, it became an experience that i would cherish heavily til this day, im not sure where i would be without them… and i didnt recieve the t shirt til about 3/4 way into the 6-month long program
“In 1994, a young snowboarder named Jay Bateman was killed in a tragic, drug-related murder. Community members saw this tragic event as a call to action: no longer could we sit by while kids grew up absorbing only the messages of consumption and competition. A group of local activists decided to create a program where young people could come together to laugh, dream, think, and explore the true meaning of community: The Service Board was born. Hard work paid off, and in January of 1995 we opened our doors to high-school students from across Seattle. Since our inaugural class, the number of teenage participants, adult mentors and small business sponsors has grown each year. In fact, growing demand for tSB from students, parents, and schools led us to launch a pilot program based in the neighborhood of White Center in January 2005, serving an area that is among the most culturally diverse in the region, with one of the highest per capita populations of young people.
The Service Board provides Seattle area high school-age youth with life-changing experiences that build self-knowledge, skills, courage, and determination. TSB models the power of a supportive intergenerational culture and serves youth in need of its caring community.
The Service Board instills in high school-age youth a deep sense of life purpose based on an ethic of public service and a conviction in their abilities to shape the future.”

this past sunday, i had the chance to go up and photograph the new youths second day on the slopes at snoqualmie
i wanted to focus on the learning process, the beautiful day, and the friendships
since they were all mostly beginners, i chose not to focus on the actual riding
although by the end of this season, im sure theyll all be shredding maximumly..
i couldnt make it to all of the other tsb groups so i stuck with a few
and ditched the camera after lunch to ride along
i love snowboarding
and im becoming quite the teacher at it too
