Spirit of Youth

Viktor started working at the Alaska Rock Gym when he was 14 as an Assistant Rock Climbing Coach. He has since worked his way into a Lead Instructor role, becoming the youngest ever to do so in the organization. He teaches youth, ages 4 to 13, the basics of rock climbing as well as the social and emotional skills needed to build resilient youth in his community. Viktor also volunteers for the Special Olympics climbing events held at the gym.
