23 Years of Outdoor Education and Grief Support Experience
Meet Jason
For more than two decades, Jason’s life work has been helping grieving youth, families, and adults find inner strength, form meaningful connections, and experience personal transformation through physical, experiential, and nature based programming.
Before the age of fifteen, Jason experienced the death of his sister, father and the murder of grandmother. Jason struggled with these three major losses throughout his teen and young adult years and it wasn't until he attended a 78 day Winter Leadership Expedition, that he discovered purpose and found healing.
In honor of his dad and sister, Jason created a national wilderness program for at-risk and grieving teens, which has been featured in publications including Backpacker Magazine, the Denver Post, and the Associated Press. Beyond Stoutreach, Jason is also CEO/Co-founder of the Purpose Confluence, a social entrepreneurship that helps young people and adults develop themselves through alternative education programs. Jason also serves as Advisor to several programs including the Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors.
