By compassionately and thoughtfully introducing children to inspiring mountain adventures in world-class Lake Tahoe, the Courage Project provides children with experiences that challenge their expectations regarding their capabilities. The Courage Project is entering it's second year of Winter Speaker Series support.
"Our goal is to help children with anxiety and depression believe in their ability to live their lives to the fullest. With the help of incredible volunteers and a team of amazing athletes, the Courage Project is making a difference in the lives of children and families, one adventure at a time."
"The Courage Project would like to extend our sincere thanks to Alpenglow Sports for their support of our mission to expand the reach of evidence-informed care in North Lake Tahoe.”
Their Mission
"Through mindful engagement in inspiring outdoor experiences, education, and training, we seek to enhance the lives of children who experience anxiety and depression while disseminating evidence-informed behavioral healthcare throughout the North Lake Tahoe region.
We aim to increase access, reduce stigma, and establish a positive foundation for our community’s future mental health. We are a fully volunteer run and donation supported organization. That means 100% of your donation goes directly to helping kids."
How Your Contributions Help
Thanks to the generosity of the Winter Speaker Series community, the Courage Project was able to launch the 2024 Lake Tahoe Performance Summit. This first-of-its kind, experiential conference introduced the Mindful Sport Performance Enhancement (MSPE) framework to a multi-disciplinary group of community leaders, presented by one of its developers, internationally renowned expert, Keith Kaufman, Ph.D., CMPC
This conference welcomed local sports medicine and mental health professionals, coaches and athletes and highlighted the expertise existing in our region as part of the Courage Projects educational initiative. The event included a fully catered lunch, mindful hiking in Olympic Valley, mindful yoga, and continuing education credits available for professionals.
