New AF Program for Youth Climbing Teams
The Access Fund is pleased to announce the launch of a new program, the boulderProject TeamWorks competition.
With the cooperation of team coaches, indoor climbing gym youth teams will host or participate in Access Fund Adopt-a-Crag events. Teams will amass points for their service. As a reward for their stewardship efforts, the top 10 teams will win cash grants between $250 and $2,000 for their youth programs.
“In addition to the $2,000 top prize, the first place team will also receive the ‘Golden Toothbrush’ award presented by REI and a full-page write up in Urban Climber Magazine. Our partners in this project have really stepped up,” says AF Grassroots Coordinator Charlie Boas, who heads the boulderProject TeamWorks and Adopt-a-Crag programs.
boulderProject TeamWorks would not be possible without the generous support of REI, The North Face, USA Climbing, and Skram Media. Additional support is provided by CLIF Bar, Nalgene, Leave No Trace, and Routsetter.com
