Each year, hundreds of young adults arrive in resort towns to work in roles that keep the community running—lift operators, servers, ski instructors, baristas, guides, and more. While the mountains offer adventure and beauty, these workers often live in deep isolation and face unseen struggles:

  • Overcrowded housing or no housing at all

  • Physically demanding work in winter conditions

  • Social pressure centered around bars, partying, and substance use

  • Unhealed spiritual wounds and curiosity about faith

  • Mental health concerns with few places to turn

  • No mentors, no advocates, and no one investing in their lives

Beacon is here to change that. We come alongside these workers with presence, purpose and hope—offering them more than survival in a resort town, but a path to truly thrive.
