Welcome to Snowboards for Kashmir!
SNOWBOARDS FOR KASHMIR is about so much more than teaching snowboarding.
This program is about building a future and enjoying the present. We fully believe that:
- Snowboarding is a fun and healthy way to promote education & recreation.
- Training local instructors promotes self-employment opportunity and self-esteem.
- Interaction between foreign trainers, local staff, and domestic visitors promotes international understanding and peace.
SNOWBOARDS FOR KASHMIR was created to channel surplus snowboard equipment to the Kashmir region of India as an educational, recreational and employment opportunity resource for the area's youth & under-employed adults.
SNOWBOARDS FOR KASHMIR is a non-profit corporation, is a certified 501(c)(3) educational, charitable, international amateur sports organization registered in the State of Vermont, USA, and operating at Gulmarg, Jammu & Kashmir, India.
These are just a few of the reasons why this non-profit initiative deserves your support.
