About the Founder
Growing up with a single mother struggling with mental health and addiction issues, Andrew Muse's path seemed destined for hardship. However, a life-changing opportunity came through a low-income local afterschool program that introduced him to snowboarding. This first taste of the outdoors and adventure awakened a passion within him that would ultimately shape the course of his life.
Through his perseverance and willingness to chase a better life, Andrew went on to become a renowned adventure athlete and storyteller. His personal journey serves as a poignant reminder of the power of access and opportunity - how a single program can unlock a world of possibilities and passion for a young person in need. Today, Andrew is driven to pay it forward, creating those same transformative experiences for underserved youth through the work of our organization.
Andrew is now a GoPro and Ford Bronco ambassador on a mission to provide other kids with access to adventure and community.
