Highlights of Auberge Resorts Collection's Enriching Lives programs include:

UNITING KIDS WITH PARK CITY'S VAST MOTHER NATURE
The Lodge at Blue Sky, Auberge Resorts Collection in Park City, Utah is working with the nonprofit Voice for Nature to provide urban adolescents an opportunity to foster a deep connection with nature. Throughout the year, the property hosts teenagers from the YMCA to horseback ride, visit Gracie's Farm, meet with the resort's veterinarian and farmers and explore the Wasatch Mountains. The Lodge at Blue Sky, Auberge Resorts Collection has also partnered with local schools to enhance student education through hotel internships, hands-on learning and career opportunities in the hospitality industry.

HEALING WITH HORSES IN COSTA RICA
Hacienda AltaGracia, Auberge Resorts Collection in Costa Rica and Flying Horse Foundation are committed to advancing the well-being of at-risk youth in the community. AltaGracia donates its facilities, horses and wranglers to support the nonprofit's equine-assisted learning program led by trained professionals and the resort's team. The weekly, curriculum-based program features two-hour group sessions led by trained professionals and serves children and teens from local schools, orphanages, safe houses, and youth groups who are struggling with trauma, learning difficulties, depression, and other challenging conditions. Through grooming, feeding, riding, and tending to the horses, students acquire skills and experiences that strengthen awareness, resilience, empathy, and self-regulation.

Malliohauna, Auberge Resorts Collection in Anguilla is working with Alwyn Allison Richardson Primary School (AARPS) to create and maintain an organic vegetable garden based on sustainable agricultural practices. The goal is to reintroduce farming to the island of Anguilla which currently depends heavily on imports for a significant portion of its produce. As part of the partnership, the resort will provide the school with the necessary resources to develop the garden including manpower, soil and fertilizer, as well as hands-on involvement and mentorship for the students in an effort to nurture the next generation of farmers. Children will learn about sustainable agriculture from Malliouhana's culinary team through this program. The property aims to expand this initiative to various primary schools across the island to educate and excite students about farming in such a way that it sparks interest in future career opportunities in agriculture.

REWILDING COLORADO
Madeline Hotel & Residences, Auberge Resorts Collection in Telluride, Colo. has partnered with the Colorado chapter of the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) and the Blackfeet Nation to help regenerate the once-native American Bison in southwest Colorado. During the year, the hotel will host a series of experiential fundraising events from chef-led cookouts to ice skating. Next up, the property will host its second Annual Alpine Cookout on July 2, 2022, which will directly benefit the Wildlife Conservation Society. The gastronomic affair will showcase top chefs including Viet Pham, Dean Fearing, Mark Tarbell, and Mark Kiffin. All donations and event proceeds will go to the WCS.

CHAMPIONING LIVELIHOODS ON LAND AND SEA IN LOS CABOS
Esperanza, Auberge Resorts Collection and Chileno Bay Resort & Residences, Auberge Resorts Collection have joined forces on two programs to support the local Los Cabos community. In partnership with the Green Scholarship Program, the properties have established an annual education scholarship fund that awards two promising female students studying tourism or marine biology the first year of university tuition. This includes books, transportation, psychological support and English classes to ensure their success. In addition, each scholar is invited to visit their sponsoring hotel to learn more about the hospitality industry.

Esperanza, Auberge Resorts Collection and Chileno Bay Resort & Residences, Auberge Resorts Collection are also supporting Coperativa Alvarez, a fishing collective of 20 families in Baja California Sur's Magdalena Bay. Both hotels have committed to purchasing the collective's entire catch on a weekly basis to directly sustain the livelihood of local fishermen/women and deliver guests the region's freshest seafood.

UPLIFTING LOCAL YOUTH IN SANTA FE
Bishop's Lodge, Auberge Resorts Collection in Santa Fe, N.M. has formed a partnership with YouthWorks, an organization serving at-risk and disadvantaged youth in northern New Mexico.

The trail offers visitors and locals alike a car-free sustainable alternative for exploring wine country while reducing their carbon footprint.

SPREADING AVALANCHE AWARENESS IN TELLURIDE

SAVING THE SEA TURTLES ON THE COAST OF FLORIDA
Auberge Beach Residences in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. has joined forces with the National Save the Sea Turtle Foundation to protect threatened and endangered sea turtles that nest along Florida's coast. Over the years, the sea turtle populations have been depleted by the demand for sea turtle meat, shells and leather. Thousands also drown in fishing gear each year and others die from pollutants or swallowing trash. To help protect this vulnerable species, Auberge Beach Residences adopts sea turtle nests to ensure the hatchlings have the best chance of survival. On a quarterly basis, the team also leads beach cleanups that residents and neighbors are invited to join.

SUPPORTING THE BLUE RIDGE COMMUNITY THROUGH SOUTHERN FOOD AND DRINK
