UPportunity couldn’t do our regular ski adventure of bringing deserving teens from economically challenged families, because of Covid. So we chose to award the adventure to a whole family.
An adventure on Snowmass Mountain that UPportunity organized and funded for 17-year-old Malaki in Aspen, Colorado.
An adventure on the Grand Canyon that UPportunity organized and funded for at-risk young men of Hope Farm in Fort Worth, Texas.
See the youth at UPportunity broaden their horizons as they explore different areas in Arizona, from Camelback Mountain to the famous Grand Canyon, while being taught photojournalism by photographer Ron Delhaye.
