BLOG: No BARRIERS VISITS FRANCE

Bonjour! In September, we had the fabulous opportunity to visit our friends at Hennessy and take part in their Fête des Sports (Sports Day).

Our colleagues at Hennessy are truly fortunate to work within a company that invests so much in their team. Sure, there’s the savoir faire (know how) when it comes to how they make cognac. But it’s also clear that they have the savoir faire when it comes to nurturing their team. And we couldn’t be more excited to be along for the ride!  Click to read story

Your Roadmap to living life with no barriers

The 7 No Barriers Life Elements form the basis of No Barriers’ experiences and curriculum across all programs.

From a lifetime of facing and overcoming challenges, Erik Weihenmayer developed these concepts as the culmination of experiences, mindset and action that allows us to harness adversity, break through barriers and create a life of purpose and impact.

Vision

Define a purpose that inspires you to give your best back to the world.

PIONEER

Persevere through challenges to innovate.

ALCHEMY

Harness life experience into optimism.

REACH

Move beyond your comfort zone to grow and reach your goals.

ROPE TEAM

Collaborate and connect with others to build strong communities.

SUMMITS

Find the gifts earned through the struggle.

ELEVATE

Impact the world as a leader who serves.

NOW MORE THAN EVER THE WORLD NEEDS TO BELIEVE

What’s Within You Is Stronger Than What’s In Your Way
Help empower people to believe that they are not defined by their visible or invisible disabilities.

Get involved. Be forever changed.

Stay up-to-date on new opportunities & community stories. 

MORIAH (MO) LEUTHAUSER

Program Manager

 

Moriah (Mo) Leuthauser grew up in a small town in Western Colorado. There she spent time outside with her family- skiing, backpacking, climbing and camping. She was introduced to adaptive recreation through an internship with a nonprofit organization that offered recumbent cycling tours from Telluride to Moab for disabled veterans. She was inspired to get involved with adaptive recreation after seeing the joy and healing that she had witnessed it bringing.  She attended Grand Canyon University, where she worked as a guide in the outdoor recreation program and received her Wilderness First Responder certification. Then, she worked at the National Ability Center as an adaptive ski instructor and as an adaptive raft guide for multi day rafting trips. During this time, she earned her PSIA Adaptive Level 1 cert and her Swift Water Rescue Level 4 cert. She now works for No Barriers as the Warriors Program Coordinator, but most enjoys opportunities to be in the field. In her free time, she enjoys mountain biking, rock climbing, skiing, board games and gardening. She hopes for a future where outdoor recreation is more accessible for all people and she plans to devote her career to this cause.
